Wyatt Flores (born 29 June 2001) is an American country music singer-songwriter and musician. His debut studio album, Welcome to the Plains, was released in 2024 and he has released three extended plays.

Early life

Flores was born to Noe Flores, a retired welder and former drummer in a local band, and his wife Shannon, a school administrator, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. He has an older sister, Alicia, who now works in his crew as a merchandising director. Flores' uncle Bobby also played with his father and two other members, Scotte Lester and Kelley Green who went on to become members of red dirt group The Great Divide and became musical mentors to Flores while he was growing up. Flores describes his other main musical influence as Evan Felker and his band the Turnpike Troubadours.^[1]

Career

Flores debuted on the Billboard charts for the first time on December 2, 2023, which "Please Don't Go", a song from his EP The Hutson Sessions, premiered at number 43 on the Hot Country Songs chart.^[2]

On December 27, 2023, he released a cover of "How to Save a Life" by The Fray, stating "I hope this little late Christmas gift helps those who aren’t having the best holiday season".^[3]

In February 2024, Flores took a brief hiatus from performing and cancelled several of his upcoming tour dates, citing struggles with his mental health and impostor syndrome. He resumed performing in April.^[4]

Flores released his second EP, Half Life, on April 19, 2024. Discussing the project, which features songs dissecting his relationship with fame, mental health, religion, and romantic relationships, with Grammy.com, he stated that "I like to keep it very based on what I felt, and just try and go for that emotion. If you can somehow captivate [listeners] in the story and make them feel the emotion through the song, then you've done your job. I guess that's all I'm after."^[5]

On August 30, 2024, Flores announced that his debut studio album, Welcome to the Plains , would be released on October 18 via Island Records. It was preceded by the release of the lead single "Don't Wanna Say Goodnight".^[6] On October 18, 2024, Flores performed "Oh Susannah" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert .^[7]
