On this episode of "Bringin' It Backwards," Adam Lisicky sits down with Wesko, a country artist whose music journey is anything but typical. Growing up in a tiny town in eastern North Carolina with no musical lineage, Wesko didn't even pick up a guitar until he was 19—and that was just to find some therapy during a stressful period in his life. What started as late-night YouTube tutorials in his parents' backyard quickly turned into songwriting sessions, local gigs, and, eventually, viral TikTok moments that would help launch his career.

Wesko shares how he went from working blue-collar jobs and going to college to signing with Warner Records—all while battling self-doubt and a literal hand injury right before signing his first big deal. He chats openly about building a fanbase from scratch through social media, playing to empty dive bars, and what it's like moving from home studios to recording with major producers in Nashville. Plus, you'll hear the stories behind his "Lost Boys" EP and his upcoming project, revealing why his music is all about real-life struggles, sacrifices, and the power of holding on even when life gets tough.

If you're an aspiring artist looking for inspiration—or just a fan of honest, rootsy storytelling—you won't want to miss this conversation. Stick around to hear Wesko's best advice for breaking through, staying true, and never giving up.
