At just 24 years old, country singer Tucker Wetmore is already making waves in the country music scene, but his journey hasn’t been without its challenges. In a candid interview with Fox News Digital, Wetmore opened up about his faith and how it has been the anchor that keeps him grounded through life’s ups and downs, especially in an industry known for its highs and lows.

Wetmore’s debut album, “Waves on a Sunset,” and his first headlining tour have launched him into the spotlight. Yet, despite his rising fame, Wetmore makes it clear that faith has always been the foundation of his life, shaping both his music and his purpose.

“I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for faith,” Wetmore shared, reflecting on how his spiritual walk has been central to his musical journey. “Spiritually and musically, my faith…I pray every single day for just like random stuff.” His prayers aren’t just about his career but for guidance in staying on the path he believes God has for him.

While Wetmore says he’s never doubted that God has a plan for him, he’s quick to admit that the road isn’t always easy. “It’s hard in the line of work that I do not to slip up,” he said, acknowledging the struggles he faces as a young man navigating the pressures of fame. “But then He always keeps me centered. He always brings me right back.”

One of the defining moments in Wetmore’s life was a setback that changed the course of his future. Wetmore, who had dreams of playing in the NFL, was pursuing football at Montana Tech when a serious leg injury shattered those hopes. Faced with the harsh reality that his athletic dreams were over, Wetmore found himself lost.

“I had so much purpose, and now I’m doing nothing,” he told Fox News Digital, recounting how he felt after dropping out of college. It was his mother who reminded him of his love for music, which had always been a source of comfort for him during difficult times, especially when his parents separated during his childhood.

Wetmore took her advice and returned to music, writing his first song that very night. From that moment, he didn’t look back. “That’s what I wanted to do,” he realized, eventually making the life-changing decision to move to Nashville and pursue a career in country music.

Since then, Wetmore’s star has only risen. His singles “Wine into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You” have charted on Billboard, and he’s shared the stage with country legends like Luke Bryan and Thomas Rhett. But despite all the success, Wetmore remains deeply connected to his small-town roots and his faith.

Growing up in Kalama, Washington, Wetmore lived next door to his grandfather’s church, where he spent much of his childhood attending services and watching his grandfather preach. Those memories, he said, continue to inspire him today. “I would honestly some days just give it all up just to see him preach one more time,” he said, reflecting on his grandfather’s legacy.

As he embarks on his first solo tour, Wetmore is filled with gratitude. “I’m just happy to be here,” he said, echoing a heart of humility. He knows that his journey, both the trials and the triumphs, is part of God’s bigger plan for his life.

For Wetmore, it’s not just about the music, the accolades, or even the sold-out shows—it’s about staying true to the calling he believes God has placed on his life. “This is His path for me,” he said. “I just got to sit back and trust and listen.”
