Dyllan is a synth pop songstress hailing from Los Angeles. Her interplay of edgy melodies, shimmering textures and unapologetic storytelling draw the listener into an intimate dreamscape of raw emotion. Her music fuses trap beats, 80s synths and electric guitars, swimming under a sultry, confident voice. 

Dyllan’s single, “Walk Sideways,” premiered on Billboard Music, where she opened up about overcoming anxiety and shyness in relationships. Her music has been spun on Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Discover Weekly, and featured on LA’s KCRW, Earmilk, and Ladygunn. She won 1st place in the Coffee Music Project songwriting competition for “How Can I Tell You,” a song about how she almost quit music in a moment of insecurity but decided to keep going. She was set to perform at SXSW right before it was cancelled because of the pandemic. 

Dyllan released a quarantine lovesong called, “Quaranqueen,” in December, which she wrote and produced from her bedroom and which garnered 60K streams on Spotify within one week. She is working on her first self-produced album to be released in 2021. 

Dyllan (neé Dylan Nichols) grew up in Los Angeles with creative parents, her father a famous Soap Opera Actor and her mother a playwright. Her first two guitars were named Joni and Jeff, after her greatest influences. She overcame a crippling fear of singing in front of other people at age 12, and began writing her own songs. She attended Sarah Lawrence College, where she studied music, film, and creative writing. She went abroad to Paris and met electronic artist Thylacine, with whom she’s collaborated on several tracks that have garnered 800K hits on YouTube. She moved to Brooklyn and worked as a waitress/barista/full time nanny while playing gigs with her band at night and writing songs about New York winter and heartbreak. She moved back to her hometown Los Angeles in 2017 and has been focused on her current project ever since.
