Biography:
Dylan Singh is a British born unsigned singer/songwriter of Indian heritage. 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. He fell in love with Otis Redding's voice and the whole Stax records era at the age of fourteen. And at fifteen, John Lee Hooker jettisoned him into his 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 recognize 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!
