In this episode of "Talk Y'all To Me," Tori Kruse sits down with 18-year-old Texas country artist Tristan Roberson for one of the most refreshingly honest conversations to hit the Talk Y'all To Me podcast. Fresh off a high school graduation and a performance at a festival in Monterrey, Mexico alongside Braxton Keith, Tristan is already doing what most artists spend years working toward and he is just getting started.
In this episode, Tristan gets real about what it actually looks like to build a music career from scratch, with no big name industry mentor, no roadmap, and a whole lot of faith. He opens up about his new single "Everything About You," a heartfelt love song rooted in real life experience, and why every song he records has to be personal to him before it ever reaches a listener.
But the conversation goes much deeper than music. Tristan shares candidly about growing up in the middle of a messy, years long family situation that forced him to grow up fast, develop a level of self awareness well beyond his age, and lean hard into his faith to make sense of it all. He talks about the loneliness of trying to break into an industry that does not always open its doors easily, the mental battle of staying grounded when success starts to snowball, and why he made a conscious decision to stop chasing hit songs and start creating honest art.
If you have ever wondered what it takes to chase something big before the rest of the world tells you that you are ready, this episode is for you. Tristan Roberson is proof that authenticity, grit, and a little bit of God's favor can take you a lot further than you think.
