The rubutu ya zo daga wani yanayi: Wyndham’s friend, Jeff, who works at the local liquor store. “Jeff, looked up at me one day and said, ‘You rich and famous yet or still middle class and infamous?’ I laughed and told him, ‘Man, I think you just named my record," Wyndham recalls. “The longer I sat with it, the truer it felt.” That truth files ta cikin album na kowane songs, balancing moments of sorrow and heartbreak with glimpses of hope and determination.

“The Last Time” aka rubuta a karkashin haƙĩƙa na mafi kyau mai ban sha'awar a cikin jirgin kasa na'ura, wannan nau'i Wyndham ya ce ya so ya ba ya kamata a karanta. “Numb” ya zama al'amurran a kan 3 a rana bayan ya sa da wani gaban mai ban sha'awa. “Make A Difference” aka tsammani a lokacin da wani al'amurran daga The Voice ya ce ya ce cewa da gaskiya na kawai a cikin uku shekaru da suka wuce ne kawai ‘make a difference’.

Musically, Middle Class & Infamous builds on the foundation of Wyndham’s debut Nashville Rock & Soul, Vol. 1. Where that first record captured the energy of a dream live set, this new album is a refinement, a deeper vocabulary, a stripped-down clarity, and songs built to resonate whether you’re on a morning run or wrestling with heartbreak. “Every choice was in service of the songs,” Wyndham explains. “If it didn’t serve the message of the song, it got left out.”

For Wyndham, this release is more than just a record, it’s a commitment. After spending his 20's touring with & musical directing for artists like Colbie Caillat and Jessie James Decker, he made the decision earlier this year to step away from those roles and invest fully in himself as an artist.

"Wannan shi ne bayyanarku a cikin sand,"I'm not dopping my toe in the water, I'm diving in" artist record. I'm in. I've putten the sideman safety net; I'm wholeheartedly taking these tunes to where they deserve to go." He continues to write and produce for other artists, but this record marks the moment he puts equal weight behind his own voice.

“This is the last record I will ever produce while playing for another artist, leaving my Musical Director position with Colbie Caillat Yau a cikin watan Afrilu da za a sa'an nan za a sa'an nan a cikin wani artists. I love wasu mutane da music da kuma taimaka su samu su sauke da kuma zama mafi kyau za su iya zama, amma ba za a iya zama a cikin shekaru da aka sani cewa na ba ya yi da abin da na da kayan aiki don yin, wanda shi ne ka samu wannan music zuwa duniya" Wyndham states.

Wyndham yana ƙaddamar da wani ban mamaki kariya: wani Gibson gabatarwa guitarist, ayyukansa da aka rarraba da ESPN, the NFL Network, and NBA 2K21. Ya tafiya duniya, ya yi a Opry, da kuma samu da imani na Grammy-winning artists. Amma Middle Class & Infamous shi ne lokacin da ya tafi har yanzu ba tare da wani safety net, wani record wanda ya nuna kowace shi da kuma inda ya tafi.

“These songs are my launching point,” Wyndham says. "Kai za a ba da 'ya'yanku a cikin gida da kuma samu a jirgin sama, za a zama don wani abu da za a yi dace. Wannan record ne shi."
