You go to a concert to see your favorite artist, and leave loving them even more than before, only to discover that their support act has stolen a little piece of your heart, too. And that’s the ideal scenario right? This is what we love to see and why artists pick certain openers in the first place. To introduce them to their audience and give them a stage to shine. That’s exactly how many of us found DYLAN.
I met her back in 2022 when she was opening for Tate McRae and she was just as lovely and talented as I thought she would be. Her fans describe her as one of the kindest and most genuine people you could ever cross paths with and her impact is reflected in the community she has built over the past few years. She not only gave them a sense of belonging when they needed it most, but she gave them each other to hold onto and walk through life together.
If you follow DYLAN, you know that she hasn’t had it easy in her career thus far, but despite the hardships, obstacles and doubts, she rose above it all and not only came out even stronger, but has proven that the power of the strong community behind her can move mountains and achieve the seemingly impossible.
It has also shown the strong bond between her and her fanbase that truly is ride or die no matter what. She talks to them on a human to human level, without that artist-fan barrier and has this incredible ability to make you feel seen and welcomed. To some, she’s the human embodiment of home.
Her music not only found them during crucial chapters of their stories, but it also changed the way they view things, how unpredictable life can be and she reminds them to value the little things. Certain songs let us remember special moments in life, a time when we felt such genuine happiness, surrounded by people who get it. But it’s artists like DYLAN who create the space for those memories to blossom in the first place.
She’s their quiet when everything is too loud, she’s their constant when everything feels unpredictable, she’s their happy when they’re sad. Having someone like her in your life who not only blesses you with lyrics to relate to, but reminds you that you are not alone in this world, is a gift that keeps on giving and something they will never take for granted.
Somehow, DYLAN always finds a way to put the most complicated feelings into words, capturing them in the purest form that makes you feel like she’s singing directly to you. There is such an emotional depth to it and having her words to scream and relate to is its own kind of therapy. These songs will always be there for you, through different seasons and every chapter in your life. All you gotta do is press play!
DYLAN’s music is unique, it isn’t copy and paste and it feels authentic and true to herself. She’s got it all, from sad ballads and pop songs to true rockstar bangers and for those who didn’t know, she writes and produces all of her music herself with her friends. The girl does it all and her hard work, dedication and true passion do not go unnoticed. Her fanbase speaks very highly of her character as well as her talent and it just shows how loved and deserving she is.
With her, you truly don’t know what you’re gonna get next and that kind of unpredictability is kinda refreshing, isn’t it? The excitement and anticipation for what she’ll do next are always high. There never is one consistent with how she’ll release a single, tease a snippet or even randomly drop music on you and that’s just part of the fun. She feels every piece of music she writes so deeply and it needs to be appreciated and celebrated. In such a fast-paced industry, especially with social media nowadays, it’s nice to see artists care about their craft and take their careers seriously.
As she works towards the release of her debut album, it feels like the beginning of a new chapter, one that DYLAN has worked incredibly hard to reach. She has built something that goes far beyond a discography, creating a space where people feel understood, connected and free to be themselves.
And while her journey so far has given us plenty of reasons to admire her, there’s something incredibly exciting about knowing that so much of her story is still unwritten. She has already proven that she has the talent, the drive and the heart to make her mark on this industry. Now, it’s time for the world to see just how far she can go.
