Leon Eric "Kix" Brooks III (born May 12, 1955) is an American country music artist, actor, and film producer best known for being one half of the duo Brooks & Dunn and host of radio's American Country Countdown. Prior to the duo's foundation, he was a singer and songwriter, charting twice on Hot Country Songs and releasing an album for Capitol Records.

After graduating from the former Sewanee Military Academy, an Episcopal school in Sewanee, Tennessee, Brooks attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, where he was a theatre arts major.

He then moved to Maine and wrote advertising for a company owned by his sister and brother-in-law.

They have won the Country Music Association Vocal Duo of the Year award every year since they debuted in 1991 except in 2000 when the honor went to Montgomery Gentry, and in 2007 and 2009 when it was awarded to Sugarland.

Martin Jr., the civil rights pioneer Andrew Young, and the Louisiana State University sports legends Paul Dietzel and Sue Gunter were among those named a "Louisiana Legend" by Louisiana Public Broadcasting.
