ABOUT

Dylan Reese is originally from Chicopee, MA. From a young age, he was determined to carve out a lane for himself in the music industry. As an artist, he's done just that - collaborating with the likes of Musiq Soulchild, Twista & Paul Wall, along with more notable names and a handful of rising peers. Dylan has also been fortunate enough to tour all over North America, as both support + a headlining act. If you like 90's-2000's R&B, you'll more than likely find a ton of songs that you enjoy within his catalog (over 200 songs released). Delivering buttery vocals & thoughtful storytelling on top of memorable yet classic sounding production; Dylan will continue to reach new ears in an inevitable new way.

When moving to Los Angeles in 2017, Dylan was forced to load up his tool belt with different skills in order to stay afloat as an entrepreneur. He built a skillset within audio engineering, graphic design, music production, video editing, booking DIY tours, etc - that initially, he was utilizing for his own projects. But he was quickly being tasked + hired to tackle projects for other artists / small labels. This forced him to learn the ins and outs of the industry on the business side as well.

ELLIS! was born in January 2022 - It's an artist project rooted in Hip-Hop, that leans into saying "yes" + seeing through various creative endeavors, without borders.

In April 2023, Pretty Pretty Management was formed. Dylan has always been a self managed artist and found himself in a position to help some very talented friends - Abstract + Adam Yokum. Playing the role of an artist manager is something that Dylan is really enjoying. Empowering other creatives to bring their vision to life, while remaining in control and independent is a very powerful thing. "The main goal with PPM is to make things that we like, with the people that we like, on our own terms."

All things considered, it's fair to say that in 2024 - Dylan wears many hats. He's equally as passionate about all of them and as long as that's true, he'll remain putting his best foot forward in all directions.
