Starting during the COVID-19 lockdown that cut his senior year of high school short, Wyatt has found a drive to create dialogue through writing. A number of his scripts have appeared as staged readings and productions alongside his devised and performance artwork. Wyatt's shows are often highly stylized, balancing melancholy themes with boisterous humor. His scripts have been described as an "eccentric mind fuck of introspection" and a "case study of human grief".

First starting with instrumental music, Wyatt later began studying singing both in and out of choral settings. He is a baritone with a working range of

G2 - C5. He has a resonant, character-filled singing voice with strong diction and rhythmic integrity.
