Wyatt Flores Biography
Wyatt Flores crafts the kinds of songs you can listen to crossing state lines on the way to a new
beginning. They’d resonate just as much played out of an old jukebox as they do over an open-hearted
social media post or from a dimly lit arena stage. He lets out regret through his unfiltered delivery, while
hope buoys coarse guitar chords even in the face of life’s most turbulent storms. This stark honesty has
cemented the Mexican-American Oklahoma-born and -bred troubadour as one of country’s music most
vital voices. After dropping “Travelin’ Kid,” he captivated audiences via The Hutson Sessions EP
highlighted by “Please Don’t Go,” which gathered 80 million-plus Spotify streams and scaled the
Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart. Among other standouts, “Losing Sleep” reeled in north of 25 million
Spotify streams. Signing to Island Records, he capped off 2023 with the Life Lessons EP. Upon arrival,
Billboard touted the title track among “8 Must-Hear New Country Songs,” while Holler. christened him
an “alt-country prodigy.” Rolling Stone chronicled how “he went from playing a sold-out show at
Nashville club the Basement East in August to booking two nights at the Ryman Auditorium [supporting Charles Wesley Godwin] in
December.” Fittingly, he kickstarted 2024 by making his acclaimed debut at The Grand Ole Opry. Of the
latter, The Tennessean claimed, “Wyatt Flores’ empathetic heat, soul shine.” Now, this songcraft defines
his 2024 EP, Half Life [Island Records], introduced by the singles "Milwaukee" and “Wish I Could Stay.”
