Artist Bio.
Born in Brooklyn, NY to West Indian parents, he was exposed to both Caribbean and American cultures. Dylan went to school in New York as well as in the Caribbean where he excelled, especially in writing, where he displayed a strong natural talent for composition and prose. After being a selector and reggae/hip hop DJ for quite some time, he decided to pursue his love for writing music. He found a local studio and recorded over 80 songs, sold demos and performed in showcases before deciding to take his talent to a greater audience.
He auditioned for the MTV show "Making the Band", and out of 40,000 people, he was chosen as one of six to form the group Daband.
The group later went on to achieve Platinum success and worldwide TV recognition. After the show's contractual end Dylan traveled on 2 successful United States tours, various shows in the Caribbean, and released mixtapes that have been very well received by music lovers worldwide.
In August 2010 his latest mixtape "Let the Music Talk" was released with very little promotion and a modest Facebook following of only 2,000 friends and fans, and gained 10,000 eager listeners within one month who all expressed their desire for more from this popular and talented music maker.
Now, in partnership with Expat Records, he is working on fresh material for his established fans and neophytes to embrace and open their minds to the new sound of Dylan Dilinjah
