 Courtsy: Parvu PR FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018 DOORS: 6:00 PM SHOW: 7:00 PM TICKETS: $15 Named "country music's next rising star" by Billboard magazine, Dylan Schneider released his latest EP, Spotlight’s On You, in April of 2017, and the five-song album hit the #1 spot on the iTunes Country Album Charts. This past November, he signed with Interscope Records as the label's first direct country artist - coinciding with the release of his new single, "No Problem". Currently on tour, Dylan will play NYC's Opry City Stage on April 6th and ahead of the show, he took the time to talk about signing with Interscope, playing NYC, connecting with fans, and more. At 18 years old, you must have known music was your calling early on. When did you first know it was something you wanted to pursue professionally? I fell in love with country music when I was in 7th grade and that’s really when I knew it’s what I wanted to do. I love the storytelling and authenticity of country music and that’s what I try to convey in my music. Congratulations on signing with Interscope last year.!How did that come about and how do you feel about being the first country artist on their roster? Thank you! I’m really excited to be the first country artist on Interscope’s roster. I’m obviously in great company there… The Insterscope crew has been super supportive of me from the very beginning, so I knew that’s where I wanted to be. Prior to signing with them, you released a couple of EPs, so is a full-length album in the works? There’s a new EP in the works… I’m currently writing and recording for a summer release on that! "No Problem" is your current single. What drew you to record the song?
The song was written by Devin Dawson, Corey Crowder and Josh Hoge. I heard “No Problem” for the first time last year, and knew immediately I wanted to cut the song. It’s a subject I think many people can identify with. I write a lot, but for me, it’s always about finding the right song. You’re currently on the road and will be making a stop in NYC at the Opry City Stage on April 6. Have you played NYC before? If so, what do you like about the city and fans and if not, what are you looking forward to? I haven’t played NYC before and I’m so excited to be there. I love New York and I think this will be a killer show! There’s a great energy there… I’m hoping to match that on stage. Your career seems to be moving quickly, is there any one thing you would like to accomplish this year? I can’t wait to release new music and tour the country! I’ve met so many new fans this year and I can’t wait to play in many more new cities. Finally, connecting with fans has always been important to you, so as your career takes off, how are you able to maintain that connection? The power of social media has been amazing for me because it allows me to be connected to my fans – regardless of where they live. I can pull up Instagram and message my fans back right away. It’s something that has always been important to me and I love it. Website/Facebook/Twitter/Insta

I always make it a habit to read artist biographies before I watch their concerts. This is because I really don't want to listen to anyone I don't know personally. I can't relate with them. I don't understand where their lyrics are coming from because I don't know their struggles in life as well as their happiest moments. It would be nice to get to know them really. If I can't be friends with them, a really good interview can do the job. It can make you appreciate their music better. Leave a Reply. |
