Wyatt Flores has been named to Apple Music’s Up Next Class of 2024, a list that features the year’s top rising talent. Flores represents the only country act chosen in the class, which the streaming service announced with an Instagram reel shared on Monday (December 9). The “West Of Tulsa” hitmaker is in good company on the list of artists on the rise, as Flores is joined by breakout hip-hop star Teezo Touchdown, Latin trap sensation Young Miko, R&B singer 4batz, hip-hop star Karan Aujla, and trap and drill standout Cash Cobain. “I was constantly around music,” Flores tells Apple of his creative journey. “And just knowing whatever happens in this world, if there’s a piece of wood with six strings on it, I’m still gonna end up playing it.” This caps off a terrific year for Flores, who made his Grand Ole Opry debut, released his Half Life EP, and full-length debut album, Welcome to the Plains, over the past few months.
