Dylan Marlowe (born June 9, 1997) is an American country music singer-songwriter from Statesboro, Georgia signed to Sony Music Nashville. [1]
Marlowe was born in Statesboro, Georgia. He grew up with a mix of music influences—his mom loved country, while his dad was a drummer in a Christian heavy metal band. Before getting into music, he was really into baseball and liked spending time hunting and fishing. [2] He started learning guitar during his senior year of high school and began writing songs, inspired by artists like Eric Church, Kenny Chesney, Linkin Park, and Blink-182. He went to Georgia Southern University for a short time but dropped out after one semester. After that, he worked with his dad in construction and played at local bars and open-mic nights. [3]
In 2018, his father told him to either move to Nashville or keep working construction. Marlowe relocated to Nashville, Tennessee shortly before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and signed a publishing and artist development deal with Play It Again Entertainment in 2020. [1] The following year, he made a country version of Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license.” It went viral and helped him gain over 500,000 TikTok followers. [4]
Following several self-released songs, a growing social media presence, and scoring his first number one hit as a songwriter with Jon Pardi's "Last Night Lonely", [5] it was announced in January 2023, that Marlowe had signed a recording contract with Sony Music Nashville. [1] His debut EP with the label, Dirt Road When I Die, was released on July 7, 2023. [6] Marlowe's debut single to country radio, "Boys Back Home" (a duet with Dylan Scott), was released on December 4, 2023. [7] Originally recorded in 2021, its release was delayed due to Scott's Livin' My Best Life , and Marlowe had to later re-record his vocals when the label decided to issue it as his debut single instead of "Record High". [5] Marlowe's debut studio album, Mid-Twenties Crisis, was released on September 27, 2024. [8]
Marlowe resides in Nashville, Tennessee. He married his longtime girlfriend, Natalie Barber—a realtor from Brandon, South Dakota—on May 19, 2023, in Nashville. [9] He loves the outdoors and spends his free time fishing and hunting. He even brings chickens with him on tour. [10]
