Young Dylan—his stage name—wowed audience members on The Ellen Show in November 2016 with his adorable smile, confidence, smooth flow, and ability to rap along with some of the biggest names in the game (Drake and DJ Khaled are favorites).

He just released his first original song and video: Keep an eye out for Young Dylan in 2017, he’s got some big projects in the works!
