Wyatt Aleman was born in Columbus, Texas on October 4, 2004 and moved to Harwood, Texas in 2006. His parents, Cindy & J.R., are Country music fans and love going out dancing to Country music. When, Wyatt was 8 years old, he had heard a voice that he was fascinated with and a song that he had never heard before. The voice he heard was Hank Williams singing “Your Cheatin’ Heart.” It had become a favorite song of his since then. At the age of 9 years old, he grew a quick interest for the fiddle just by standing in front of the bandstand in the Texas dance halls where him and his parents would go out dancing. It wasn’t long after that, he told his parents that he knew he wanted to play the fiddle. When he was 10 years old, he was presented his first fiddle. He had been teaching himself for several months just by watching YouTube videos until he finally found a teacher to give him lesson. As he continued to play the fiddle, he started to enjoy a lot of Bob Wills’ tunes as well. At the age of 14, he finally decided to step up to the microphone and start singing.
Wyatt has also taught himself the non-pedal steel guitar, pedal steel guitar, guitar, upright bass, snare drum, mandolin, and keyboard.
Wyatt Aleman debuted his band, The Texas Range Cowboys, in 2022, playing in dance halls and at other various events.
Wyatt was invited to be a special guest on the 18th season of The Penny Gilley Show on RFD-TV and has also appeared as a special guest on “Swamp ‘n’ Roll” in Duson, Louisiana for KDCG-TV.
Wyatt Aleman has had the privilege to meet Country music legends such as Johnny Rodriguez, Moe Bandy, Sunny Sweeney, Janie Fricke, Johnny Bush, Jimmie Fortune, Randy Travis, and Garth Brooks.
One of his biggest wishes had come true when he met and performed with some of Bob Wills’ Texas Playboys such as Herb Remington, who played steel guitar for Bob Wills from 1946 to 1949, Leon Rausch, the lead singer for Bob Wills from 1958-1964 (when Bob Wills disband the Texas Playboys) and again for “Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys: For The Last Time” album, and Tommy Allsup, who was a sound engineer and session musician on “Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys: For The Last Time”, and later becoming a Texas Playboy in the early 1970s.
For his 18th birthday wish, he took a trip to Montgomery, Alabama to visit the Hank Williams Museum and gravesite in March of 2023. While at the museum, he was asked to perform for The Blue Cadillac Concert Series in front of Hank Williams’ iconic 1952 Cadillac Series 62 Olympic Blue convertible.
Wyatt went back to Montgomery, Alabama to perform at Hank Williams’ 101st Birthday Celebration at the Davis Theater in 2024, and Hank Williams’ 102nd Birthday in 2025. He has also performed at The Hank Williams Festival in Georgiana, Alabama in 2025.
He was nominated for “Young Artist of the Year” from Academy of Western Artists Awards in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2022. He won the award in 2017.
