J-14 is scouting out the hottest music around... and this week's pick is Dylan Hyde!
Here are five things you need to know about Dylan Hyde who's currently working on his debut album. His single "Love Is" is out now!
1. Upcoming pop singer and musician Dylan Hyde has always been a huge fan of music. "I grew up in a musical family. We love karaoke and just enjoy great music," Dylan tells J-14. "I was also inspired by other artists, especially by Billy Joel. He's the
reason I learned to play the piano and love slow songs."
2. The best way Dylan describes himself is as a 'pop neo-crooner'. "I realize that I'm
not the crooner sound that people are use to but I'm not the pop sound being produced today either. So I like to think that I'm a new generation of crooners bringing a new pop sound that my fans across the world are going to love," he tells J-14.
3. Dylan is currently in the studio working on his debut album that is set for release early next year. "The album is filled with soul and pop influences. My producer Shawn Campbell describes it as an album for everyone to enjoy. There's something for everyone, early Michael Jackson influences, some John Legend, and even 60's and 90's influences," he tells J-14. "It's musically forward in a lot of ways. It's about love and heartbreak. It's music you want to sing at the top of your lungs!"
