A child of emo rock in small town Oregon, Dylan grew up on a steady diet of Underoath and Jimmy Eat World. Out of necessity, he began to produce for his high school band and quickly took to the craft, his productions catching the ear of iconic rock producer John Fields. An offer of a mentorship position brought Dylan down the coast to Los Angeles.
It was there that his love for lively, playable percussion and emo-inspired guitar riffs translated into a unique predilection for left-leaning alt pop and rock. His first hit came from his bedroom; a guitar-driven instrumental that, after she heard it once, became Halsey’s second single, Colors, now 2x platinum. After a few years signed to pop legend Benny Blanco, Dylan began to make his imprint on a wide range of pop projects, from the most down the middle (Liam Payne) to the most alternative (The Neighbourhood, LIGHTS, Bobi Andonov). More recently, his rock roots have been coming into play with artists like Taylor Acorn (Crashing Out) and Connor Kauffman (Close Enough).
When Dylan moved to Los Angeles, his band came with, now an established, innovative alt-indie outfit called flor. The band has a stream count now upwards of 250 million, and has sold out theaters across the country. Dylan left the band in January 2025 after over a decade of consistent touring; choosing to focus on producing and developing new artists. His most recent projects include up and coming talents such as Maris, De’Wayne, Maryon King and Hannah Grae, to name a few. All of them now gaining worldwide traction. Notably, De’Wayne’s June LP garnered praise from none other than rock legend Lenny Kravitz; securing a collaboration on “Highway Robbery ft. Lenny Kravitz” and a direct-support slot on Kravitz’s full European tour in 2026.
Now a polished and perfected finisher, Dylan’s work flow spans every step of the process— channeling his efforts into projects with strong sonic visions, timeless soundscapes, and dynamic energy that translate to impactful live performances.
