Dylan Marlowe

The intersection between country and rock has always been a special one, with artists like HARDY, Jelly Roll, Koe Wetzel and others blurring those pesky genre lines more and more with each new release. At its center sits Dylan Marlowe, one of the sub-genre's most voracious students and one of torchbearers for the next generation of country stars.

Hailing from Statesboro, Georgia, Dylan Marlowe grew up surrounded by music. While his mom was an avid country music fan, his father spent his free time as a drummer in a Christian heavy metal band. Picking up a guitar for the first time during his senior year of high school, a young Marlowe began writing songs, pulling from an array of influences ranging from Eric Church and Kenny Chesney to Linkin Park and Blink-182.

After dropping out of Georgia Southern University after one semester, Marlowe eventually found his way to Music City just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Nabbing both a publishing and artist development deal with Play It Again Entertainment, the young singer-songwriter continued to hone his craft while also peppering out videos on social media.

One in particular, his country cover of Olivia Rodrigo's 'drivers license,' gained immediate attention, accruing Marlowe over 500,000 TikTok followers and turning heads at record labels all across Nashville.

Scoring his first No. 1 hit as a songwriter with Jon Pardi's 'Last Night Lonely,' he released his debut EP, Dirt Road When I Die, in July 2023. By fall of 2024, Marlowe followed it up with the release of his debut full-length, Mid-Twenties Crisis, which spawned standout hits spawning standout hits like 'Heart Brakes,' 'Devil on My Shoulder,' 'Stick to My Guns' with Riley Green and 'Boys Back Home' with Dylan Scott.

Across his discography so far, Marlowe has never shied away from his deep love for rock music, blending traditional country sounds with stadium-ready, guitar-licked pop punk that has found an eager audience in the country music scene.
