Wyatt Flores carries around old memories, the ghosts of loved ones, and dreams of a better future in his music. This Mexican-American Oklahoma-born troubadour sings from the gut, telling stories against a gritty country soundtrack. His unfiltered thoughts on life, death, addiction, pain, and joy emerge through his delivery.
He grew up surrounded by music in Stillwater, OK. Influenced by family and artists like Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers, and Jason Isbell, he developed his style. He attributes his character to Oklahoma's history of resilience. During COVID, he left OSU, working on a ranch and writing songs. At 19, his debut "Travelin’ Kid" gained traction. "Please Don’t Go" caught fire online, leading to The Hutson Sessions EP. He then released "Break My Bones" and "Ain’t Proud," amassing millions of streams. Along the way, he inked a deal with Island Records. Flores' music calls to live fully, embodying his journey and learning. Life Lessons symbolizes his evolution and growth.

Evan Honer was still a college student in Southern California when his music — a mix of acoustic folk, indie-Americana, and alternative pop, delivered by a young songwriter who's never been afraid to blur the boundaries between genres — began earning a global audience. It happened fast. One minute, he was uploading performance videos to social media with little response. The next, he was a viral success, earning 100 million streams with his version of the Tyler Childers deep cut "Jersey Giant" and building a following with his original music, too. On graduation day, Honer released West On I-10, a debut album that quickly led to viral success as well as months of sold-out headline shows across America and Europe.
For his sophomore album Fighting For, Honer decided to keep things simple. Turning down seven-figure offers from virtually every major label & Grammy award winning producers, Fighting For was recorded by close friends in small studios, churches, Air Bnb's and living rooms and is being released by Evan's own independent label Cloverdale Records. With 500 million streams and counting and carving a new path in the music industry as a 100% independent artist, this is still just the beginning of Evan's journey.
