Dylan Singh (born May 24, 1975) is a British born unsigned singer/songwriter of Indian heritage. He currently lives in London and plays predominantly rock, blues, folk & Indian music. His family is from Punjab where music is a huge part of culture, folk music in particular.
He grew up listening to an eclectic mix of eastern and western music, from Bhangra beats to Delta Blues. Dylan fell in love with Otis Redding’s voice and the whole Stax records era at the age of fourteen. At fifteen, John Lee Hooker jettisoned him into a journey through the blues. The British Blues invasion in the 60’s was a big influence, partly for the fact that those bands got the World to recognise the genius of the likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, amongst others. Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and classic rock is a staple of the music that has influenced him. On the eastern side, Dylan grew up listening to great singers such as Jagjit Singh, Alam Lohar, Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn and Gurdas Maan. He enjoys listening to everything from Punjabi folk music to Qawwali’s to ghazals –and, of course, Bhangra!
Dylan Singh started singing in a choir at an Anglican school in Gloucester, UK when he was a child but eventually took interest into playing drums, tabla and guitar. At thirteen, his parents divorced and he moved to London, UK. It proved to be a musical turning point and Dylan turned more and more to music to avoid dealing with issues of racism and loneliness.
