“It’s been something that I’ve been thinking about doing for a couple of years,” Wilson tells Tejano Nation. “It’s personal for me, I like, I went to all the quinceaneras, I went to all the Hispanic weddings. I was around during the Tejano days — the Selena days. It’s something that I do have some history with, which is why I wanted to do that.”

Nominees for the inaugural category include Art Tigerina, Chente Barrera, Grupo Stampede, Jay Perez, and Sunny Sauceda. Winners will be announced at the 2024 Texas Country Music Awards, which will take place on Sunday, November 10th, at the World’s Largest Honky Tonk, Billy Bob’s Texas, located in the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards.
