Stevie Wonder once said, "Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.” Recording artist Dylan Hyde understands these words intimately because he has been creating musical memories for himself and those around him his entire life...

No one was more surprised than his own family to learn that singing was one of Dylan’s talents. At the Age of three, Dylan got ahold of a mic during a family karaoke night in his hometown of San Diego. He started to sing… beautifully. Not a jaw was closed and the room was stunned. Nobody saw it coming because Dylan was clinically deaf in both ears.

Dylan soon fell in love with the creative process and over the years began writing songs. Slowly but surely as his hearing was being corrected, he taught himself to play the guitar. Then the piano. Then to engineer. “I like expressing myself with my music,” Dylan says, “and I learned that the more involved I was in creating it, the more artistic I could be.” Dylan was a natural and he was on his way.

Motivated by an amazingly fast-growing fan base on YouTube and other social media, Dylan was ready to take his craft to the next level. He (along with his family) packed up and moved to Los Angeles seeking to firmly establish himself as a Pop-R&B vocalist. The move paid off big and allowed the budding teenager the opportunities to work with a legion of artists and producers including Babyface and Ne-Yo. Dylan also caught the attention of industry heavyweights Shawn Campbell, responsible for breaking teen-sensation Cody Simpson, and legendary music manager Johnny Wright. Wright has launched the biggest names in Pop music like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC and Jonas Brothers (to name a few). Now under Wright’s guidance and still deaf in one ear, Dylan is currently working on his first full-length album to share with his “Hyde Pryde” devotees across the globe.
