Singer-songwriter Dylan Robert has lived in Liverpool his whole life, growing up just minutes away from John Lennon’s childhood home.
He began playing the guitar with his best friend, Ben Harper when he was ten. Harper is now Robert’s producer. They recorded ‘Floodlights’ and ‘Psychos’ at the Motor Museum Recording Studio on Lark Lane, where Harper works.

Let’s check them out:
Floodlights
Robert's vocals are a cross between Sam Fender and Elliott Smith, while his guitars chime like Shack and Andrew Cushin. He walks a tightrope of alternative to pop music with such delicate poise here that, fans from all sides of the tracks are indeed to follow.
Psychos
The reflective atmosphere of Bon Iver’s debut album courses through this vein of this dawn-lit masterpiece.
In the closing stages, Robert sings, “Nobody’s walking where we go.” The sense of a lost generation finding its way through a sea of despair is lit up by Bon Iver via John Martyn's guitars. Dawn-lit and single-minded, Robert’s characters forge their spellbinding paths of discovery.
