We had the good fortune of connecting with HtheOutlier aka Hagan wessbecker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi HtheOutlier, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The fans. The support. The ability to connect with new and existing listeners alike. That is the utmost important factor as a professional musician trying to expand on their career as it stands.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’ve been playing music since I was 8 years old. I have almost lost my life a couple different times. I have been through more than I would be able to utter into a lifetimes-worth of music. I truly am wide-eyed to the life I have around me at this point. I went from a very unruly upbringing, to a parents divorce, to a very early drug addiction and all that my life has been from there has been damage, followed by a beautiful rebirth and redemption. My life is completely antonymous to what it used to be. And my music has evolved to a new caliber along each winding road I’ve been down.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
That’s easy. Colorado springs is home to the land where the God’s themselves dwell! Or so they say haha we would most definitely hit up Garden of the God’s. Then I would have to take them to see the hot air balloon festival!!! It’s magnificent. Happens every year. The paint mines are only about an hour drive away. Aa well as an actual castle made in the late 1900s by a Colorado local. There are countless things to do. So many restaurants to try. We would NOT be bored

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I really want to thank my Father. His influence is truly the reason I am alive, well, and on the path I am today. I want to shout out to my recording studio: Mount Olympus Recording Studio, in Colorado Springs, CO and the owner: Black Pegasus, and my Engineer, MixedbyBlitz for keeping my work solid and also having the humility to help the local artist you work with to guide them in building up yheir career.

But more importantly I want to thank my Fiancé. Memphis, you are truly the best thing that ever happened to me. My drive, My dedication, my passion, my everything. All came when you showed up. Thank you for showing me who I really am inside.
