Firefighter, naval officer, musician: the many lives of Kashus Culpepper

During the pandemic, Kashus Culpepper learned to play the guitar on YouTube, and soon enough was performing covers for his fellow sailors in the United States Navy. Now, after sharing some of his covers online and moving to Nashville, Kashus’s soulful blend of Southern sounds has caught the attention of music veterans like John Mayer and Elton John. He joins Tom Power to talk about his unique journey to becoming a full-time musician, touring with Darius Rucker, and his debut album Act 1.
