On Episode 123 of the Guest Speaker Series, we are joined by R&B sensation Dylan Reese exclusively at The Record Co. in Boston. Originally from Chicopee, MA and now residing in LA, Dylan has steadily been on the rise within his artistry as he’s toured the country multiple times, and worked with legends such as Musiq Soulchild, Twista, Paul Wall, and additionally opened for Jon Bellion on his first ever tour.
Dylan, who used to be a rapper, discusses his lifelong love for R&B music and explains how he’s finally making the kind of music he truly always wanted to make, especially on the heels of his latest full-length release ‘EARTHQUAKE’ which received critical acclaim. Dylan shares plenty of his musical journey, but also drops a ton of gems and free game for independent artists who are trying to make a profitable and livable career in the music industry, something Dylan has accomplished for years. His goal is to pay it forward and provide as much advice for artists as possible.
Mike & Dylan also have a thorough and enlightening conversation about the beauty of being told “no”, and the need to have irrational confidence within the industry, as well as what proper “artist etiquette” looks like from multiple aspects. Dylan also discusses a variety of topics, including his college basketball career and being coined “the R&B Luka Doncic”, why he’s never gotten his driver’s license, a surprising fact about Channing Tatum, a crazy story about a night in a Minneapolis motel, and so much more.
