Dylan Gossett
Dylan Gossett is a 24 year old singer/songwriter from Austin, TX. Dylan began writing and recording music during his early teen years on his mom's computer. Throughout high school, college at Texas A&M, and a job at Formula 1 Racing, music remained Dylan’s true passion. Inspired by a new generation of singer-songwriters he saw emerging online, Dylan began posting videos of his songs in April 2023 — and his music struck a chord with a global audience.
Dylan released his first single "To Be Free" (entirely self-written, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) on June 30. Shortly thereafter, he teased a snippet for what would become his next song "Coal"; the video took off, gaining over 1M views within the first week. After releasing the song on July 27, "Coal" has garnered almost 30M streams between Spotify and Apple Music, and debuted at #24 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales. "Coal" also cracked the Top 5 on Spotify's Global and US Viral 50 Charts, and peaked at #14 on the iTunes Country Charts and #36 across All Genres.
Dylan is releasing his debut EP "No Better Time" on October 27th, and released his latest single "Beneath Oak Trees" on October 6th to critical acclaim.
