Dylan Atlantis at Phoenix Central Park

Dylan Atlantis' Insta bio read 'amateur artist' at the start of the year. Now she's on a billboard in Times Square. With vocals and lyrics that extend well beyond her young years, Dylan Atlantis is the definition of meteoric rise.

The Philippines-born, Western Sydney based musician was raised on a musical diet of RnB and Hip-Hop by her mum. Now a self-professed lover of all genres of music (even country), she's out here sharing her innermost thoughts and lyrical experiments with the world. "I kinda just treat music like a diary but also a science lab where I can experiment expressing myself in different ways until it's awesome enough that I feel compelled to share it." Dylan fuses the grit of grunge and indie rock with the sweet soulfulness of r’n’b - adjacent to works by Syd from The Internet, Deb Never and Dylan cites N.E.R.D. and Yves Tumor as musical influences.

Pitchfork describes her as "the silky R&B singer, sliding in with the laid-back cool."

“My most important goal is to have my music be part of the big and little moments in people’s lives,” Atlantis told VICE.

“All of my heroes and influences have created music that people are able to create memories to forever, whether it be at a party, at home, with friends, alone, weddings, literally anything and everything and that’s why I love music so much. I think to summarise, my big goal is human connection through music."
