    “I’m The First One That Made It” – Wyatt Flores Gets Emotional Reflecting On Family’s Struggle With Poverty and “Trying To Live The American Dream”

    In an independent country landscape that keeps getting more authentic and powerful by the day, there are plenty of artists who are wearing their hearts on their sleeves and creating some of the most poignant art that you’ll hear from any genre. From Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson to Turnpike Troubadours and Flatland Cavalry, there are plenty of artists and songwriters who are delivering what can only be described as powerful.

    Today, however, there is arguably no artist who is writing as authentic and powerful songs as Wyatt Flores. From his debut in 2021, the “Please Don’t Go” singer has made a name for himself, penning incredible tracks about mental health, addiction, heartbreak and more.

    In an interview with Latin pop singer, Becky G, on Apple Música Uno, Flores opened up about everything from his Mexican-American heritage to the poverty his family has gone through and the perspective it gave him as he continues on his path to stardom.

    On the topic of the importance of his last name, Flores noted the pride he has in carrying it given how much his family has struggled, “It means a lot because of the poverty that my family has gone through and trying to live the ‘American dream.’ Even before we started this, we were talking about my boots, and I wrote a song called ‘Holes’ [that’s about] trying to live this ‘American dream’ and do better than the last. They’ve done so much for me to keep on going, and it is about legacy.”

    Beginning to tear up, Flores also added, “I’m so incredibly grateful because I’m the first one that has made it and pulled through.”

    Flores then shared a story about buying his parents a brand-new truck, noting the impact of their parenting and struggles throughout his life, “Hell, earlier this year I bought my parents a brand-new truck.” Tearing up again, he said, “It means a lot to carry this last name just because of where it’s been and the stories [that] carry this last name.”

    Later in the interview, Flores also touched on his Latino heritage and how much it means to his fans who share a similar background, saying that he sometimes is shocked that he’s accepted given that he doesn’t speak Spanish, “It’s weird for me when Latinos will come up to me at my show, and they’re like, ‘You’re doing it. We’re so proud of you.” And I’m like, ‘I can’t believe you accept me, because I don’t speak Spanish.'”

    It’s stories like these that remind you just how important of an artist the Oklahoma native is in today’s music scene. While dozens upon dozens of artists have been given head starts in the industry through money, connections and more, it’s incredibly moving to see someone like Flores possess equal amounts of talent as he does humility. It seems cliché to say that the right person became famous, but in Wyatt’s case, it absolutely applies here.
