Dylan hails from Edgewood, Texas and although he might have cut his teeth in the tiny dive bars all around Texas like so many of his East Texas heroes before him, his ability to garner a committed fan base early on, even before he had officially released any music, is a distinct characteristic of the new generation of artists that Dylan is a part of. His use of social media platforms, like Twitter, where he would post acoustic videos of both originals and cover songs allowed Dylan to gain fans from all over long before he had committed himself to being a full-time musician. One such video, of the 90’s country hit “Strawberry Wine”, that he uploaded back in May of 2017 quickly gained well over 100,000 views and would give him an early glimpse of “what could be”. His continual cultivation of this early fanbase made the release of his first EP “Tell Me If I’m Wrong” towards the end of 2018 one of most highly anticipated releases for a new artist for that entire year. Those early songs quickly tallied 10’s of thousands and then 100’s of thousands of streams and it was only after this small taste of success that Dylan decided that becoming a full-time musician was attainable, in all honesty, this fate seemed rather unavoidable to anybody who had been paying attention.
In 2019 Dylan finalized that decision by quitting his job working in the Oil & Gas industry and committed himself full-time to his music and everything that goes along with it. With the training wheels finally off Dylan’s schedule quickly filled up, the shows got bigger… and better, he began making more trips to Nashville to write and record new music, he kept up his engagement with his ever-growing fanbase, and most importantly he released new music that displayed all the growth that came along with fully committing himself to his art. Every new song that Dylan has released has given us a further glimpse of what he is capable of and with each new layer of growth he grabbed new fans and made all the people that already love him even more committed to following his journey.
In just a few short years Dylan gone from getting 10’s of thousands of views on acoustic videos that he would post to now amassing 10’s of millions of total streams across all major platforms. He’s gone from playing those tiny dive bars to selling out major venues across his home state and others. But, if you ask him he will let you know that he is just getting started and that the sky is the limit. Not too bad for “some broke-ass kid beating on his guitar”, not too bad.
Bad Bitch
Dylan Wheeler Lyrics

You wear your pink on Wednesdays
I'd love to hear just what you're saying on Sundays
Down on your knees when you pray
You get your party from your dad's blood, baby
That shit must be point one three
At least that's the excuse that you gave
When you ran around on me
I never said you ain't a bad bitch, baby
Just ain't the bitch for me
Don't you know there are two sides to every story?
Now won't you listen closely?
Now I ain't even gonna talk about
Every time you come home from the bar
Bending over in your phone asking about where you are
Wasn't me
Damn sure it wasn't your friends
Why don't you tell everybody who that was again?
I never said you ain't a bad bitch, baby
Just ain't the bitch for me
Don't you know there are two sides to every story?
Now won't you listen closely?
You're so quick to save your reputation
Pointing that finger at me
Oh, but darling, let's take a second
Check out your other three
I never said you ain't a bad bitch, baby
Just ain't the bitch for me
Don't you know there are two sides to every story?
Now won't you listen closely?
I never said you ain't a bad bitch, baby
Just ain't the bitch for me
Don't you know there are two sides to every story?
Now won't you listen closely?
The lyrics of Dylan Wheeler's song "Bad Bitch" are a commentary on a tumultuous relationship between two people. The song speaks to the complexities of love and the difficulties that arise when people are not compatible. The first verse highlights the physical attributes of the subject of the song, specifically how she gets her looks from her mother and loves wearing pink. The reference to praying on her knees adds a layer of depth to her character, suggesting that she may be more complex than her outward appearance suggests. The second half of the verse focuses on the subject's father and his hard-partying ways, hinting at some of the reasons why the relationship may not be working.
The chorus is the crux of the song, with Wheeler admitting that the subject of the song is a "bad bitch" but not the right one for him. He couches this admission with the acknowledgement that there are two sides to every story, suggesting that he is not necessarily assigning blame or suggesting that she is entirely at fault for the dissolution of their relationship.
The second verse delves deeper into the issues that have led to the breakdown of the relationship, with Wheeler referencing the subject's wild behavior at bars and her propensity for flirting with other people. The bridge of the song is a direct challenge to the subject, with Wheeler encouraging her to take a closer look at her own flaws and faults instead of blaming everything on him.
