Dylan Gossett 

Dylan Gossett’s songs instantly leave an imprint. The Austin, TX-born singer and songwriter features dusty instrumentation paired with his gravelly vocal delivery, and emotionally vulnerable lyrics. Right off the bat, lines like “They say pressure makes diamonds. How the hell am I still coal?” and “Smells like weed and gasoline” come to mind. Guitar in hand and heart wide open, he writes every tune by himself and sings straight from the soul with no pretense or filter. 

Throughout his college years at Texas A&M University, he never stopped playing guitar and singing. Passionate about Formula 1, Dylan took a job with Circuit of the Americas, working in their Operations team. In spring 2023, he began experimenting with posting his music online. As summertime rolled around, he caught fire with his independent debut single “To Be Free.” However, “Coal” catalyzed his breakthrough, as the song has tallied over 225 million streams on Spotify alone. Billboard professed, “‘Coal’ and ‘To Be Free’ position Gossett as a formidable, heart-on-his-sleeve singer-songwriter with immense potential.”
