Wyatt Flores Opens up on Mental Health Struggle, Hitting Rock Bottom, and the Story Behind “Oh Susannah”

Wyatt Flores is a 23-year-old Stillwater, Oklahoma, native who has charmed the country folk world with his kind eyes, wide smile, and penchant for storytelling. Flores’ popularity blossomed this year, and he’s just trying to take care of himself and hold on tight. “It’s been a hard nine months,” Flores admitted to American Songwriter. “I would be lying if I said it wasn’t. If we’re talking about the last nine months, it’s going from rock bottom to having to relearn who I am, double down on who that is, and then keep working on it. It’s all about the personal. If you take care of your personal, then everything else goes with it.”
