While touring with Ed Sheeran, DYLAN shares advice that he gave her; “He said, ‘Just take in the now.’ He said what was happening to me as an artist now only happens once and it can go by in a second. People forget about the excitement of the rise, hard work, and everything paying off.” For DYLAN, her rise came from finally accepting that her true self and sound was good enough after re-visiting her roots laid atop the kitchen counter during lockdown. Previously, like the superimposed images on her bedroom wall, she had simply been placing herself over identities of artists that she idolized. The superimposed image reflected in her previous work as her own image clashed with the one it tried to mimic. She says, “I released an EP earlier this year and prior to that one I was going through a lot of identity crises. I didn’t really know who I was despite being 18 and thinking I knew everything. I wasn’t being myself at all - I was trying to be everyone that was successful. I was constantly making huge changes to my sound because I felt like I wasn’t good enough.” She recalls trying to write like Flume while religiously listening to the album Skin. She also says that her 16 year old self “became horrifically obsessed with Coldplay” to the point that she says she even “found someone who knew the bassist and put together a CD of Garage Band demos with a big, long letter saying that I think these sound so Coldplay.” In a way, DYLAN might have felt that the only way to be at Wembley Stadium was to be them. Now, after discovering herself, she just can be, and the dreams all still follow.
