Dylan Dean’s musical journey began in Arizona, where he picked up the guitar at just 7 years old. By age 10, he was already serving on the Standing Stones worship team, quickly expanding his talents across multiple instruments.

His passion for live performance led him to create intricate backing tracks and perform throughout the Valley. Dylan has been seen street performing outside Arizona Diamondbacks, Cardinals, and Phoenix Suns games, as well as at concerts across the region.

During his time at Boulder Creek High School, Dylan stood out for his musical excellence. He was a member of the advanced guitar program, honor choir, and show choir, earning recognition from his peers as “Most Musically Inclined.”

In 2019, Dylan traveled to Sydney, Australia, where he studied music at Hillsong College. While there, he quickly stepped into a leadership role as Chief Sound Engineer at the Greater West Campus and contributed to major events including Hillsong Conference and Colour Conference.

Upon his return, he was entrusted with leadership roles at Standing Stones Church, Discovery Pointe Church, and Palmcroft Church further developing his musical journey. 

With over a decade of songwriting experience, Dylan has released multiple singles, an EP, and several albums. He has also been featured on Alice Cooper’s Christmas Pudding album.
