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.
Tell Me If I'm Wrong
Dylan Wheeler Lyrics

Don′t even wear your hair the same
I forgot the touch of your hand
I'm starting to forget what it′s like to be your man
I know that you're happy
And I'm sure that you moved on
I bet you don′t think about me
Could you tell me if I'm wrong
Could you tell me if I′m wrong
Do you think of our first kiss
Or do you even give a shit
If I could find a way to turn back time
Would you even want to try
Wo yeah
I know that you're happy
And I′m sure that you moved on
I bet you don't think about me
You probably haven′t in so long
Could you tell me if I'm wrong
Could you tell me if I'm wrong
God I hope I′m wrong, oh
Solo
God I hope I′m wrong, oh
I know that you're happy
And I′m sure that you moved on
I bet you don't think about me
You probably haven′t in so long
Could you tell me if I'm wrong
Solo
God I hope I′m wrong, oh
God I hope I'm wrong, oh
The lyrics to Dylan Wheeler's song "Tell Me If I'm Wrong" seem to come from a place of longing and regret. The singer is addressing someone they used to be involved with romantically, who has apparently moved on and forgotten about them. The first verse suggests that although the singer still knows the other person's name, some of the specific details about them are becoming harder to remember. They are acknowledging that they are starting to forget what it was like to be in a relationship with this person.
The second verse is more direct in its questioning, asking if the other person still thinks about the singer at all, or if they have entirely moved on. The line "Do you even give a shit" adds a bit of bitterness to the sentiment, suggesting that the singer feels they have been left behind and forgotten. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer hopes they are wrong about the other person having moved on, and they are seeking confirmation one way or the other.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the difficulty of moving on from a relationship and coming to terms with the fact that someone you cared about has moved on. It is a sentiment that is likely to resonate with many people who have experienced heartbreak or loss.
