Brandon and Derek Campbell, also known as The Kentucky Gentlemen, are a dynamic duo on the rise in the country music scene. Hailing from Versailles, KY, the pair are native to the south and trailblazing a path to the music industry, showing up as their authentic selves and inviting others to do the same. Billboard has referred to their music as a “potent blend of pop, country and R&B,” and their single “Whatever You’re Up For” was dubbed “The most compelling commercial-country slow jam of the year” by Rolling Stone in 2022.
