Meet Tristan Flowers

 



17-year-old high school senior from Kentucky with a surprising vocal range.


At just 17 years old, Tristan Flowers began building an audience on Instagram and TikTok sharing his love for singing. Blending modern songs with the timeless sound of classic vocalists is a vibe he's known for, as well as his surprisingly extensive vocal range.


In June 2026, after spending the day exploring a local creek, Tristan stopped beneath a bridge to record a performance of Payphone by Maroon 5. Less than 24 hours after posting the video to Instagram, it had surpassed 30,000 likes. By nightfall, that number had climbed past 45,000. By late summer, it was still growing.


As the video spread, viewers began commenting on what made his voice stand out. Some compared him to Adam Levine, while others described his voice as vintage and encouraged him to sing songs by The Ink Spots, exactly the music he already loves.

Summer 2026 was his last summer before senior year. He started exploring nearby creeks and woods while singing and creating content. As his socials kept growing, eventually he teamed up with his mom for better quality video recordings and collaborative ideas.


Music has always been part of Tristan's life. He's been singing since he was little and spent years participating in choir. Whether he's working, studying, spending time with family, or grinding away at a favorite video game (Rivals!), he's usually singing at the same time.


Tristan is a high school senior and executive assistant at a local photography and marketing business, where he helps with customer service, social media, photography projects, and day-to-day business operations while balancing AP and dual-credit coursework. He loves sharks, Minecraft, Rivals, and exploring nature. He lives in Glasgow, Kentucky with his mom, stepfather, older sister, and two younger sisters, who are often the first audience for his latest performances.

Tristan's Wishlist


  • External microphone: Many have said his microphone sounds like water or dirt is blocking it and that he would benefit from a dedicated external microphone.
  • Laptop: He's wanting a Macbook, ideally pro. Both for his music as well as school and gaming. Ideal specs minimum 16GB RAM, 1TB hard drive.
  • Recording software: Subscription to Adobe Premier Pro, Capcut, etc to make and edit videos.
  • DJI Drone: In order to have recordings of songs while walking around without needing a second person and to incorporate the natural places he loves to explore.
  • Vocal Coach: Though he's had training though many years of choir at school, a vocal coach would help strengthen his skills.
  • Studio time : After he's been more formally trained with a vocal coach, studio time would help him to create marketable, high quality version of his singing.
  • Haircut: He's had long hair for many years and was ready for a change. Now it needs to be maintained. $40 about every 2-3 months.
  • Wardrobe/Stylist: Tristan has his own style, a laid back luxury beach vibe. It would be good to have some support for occasions that need specialized attire.
