Hi, my name is Dillon Howland. I am 18 years old and since 2020 I have been pursuing music in my free time. Here you can find all sorts of information about who I am and what I do.

I was born on September 6, 2007 in Jacksonville, North Carolina. However, my creative journey didn't start until 2020 when I was around 13.

My parents got me a DAW for Christmas and that's where things started to kick off. I didn't have any real instruments, but over time I did acquire a few plugins that helped to elevate my sound a bit.

I made a lot of stuff I'm both proud and not proud of, but it all leads me to where I am now in one way or another.

I got my first guitar in 2022 and I eventually learned how to incorporate it into my compositions. I feel it's made me a more flexible writer and has made me more open to experimentation and generally unconventional songwriting techniques.

In early 2023 I got into casual music listening after buying a CD of Linkin Park's 2003 album Meteora. It led me to branch out and discover all kinds of new music, which I also feel has made me a better songwriter due to all the different writing and composition techniques I discovered from it.

Since then I mostly just make what I like and put out what I like. I view music as less of a career and more as a casual hobby I'm passionate about, although I do very much appreciate when people support my work.

But yeah, that's a general retrospective of how I've grown as a musician. Not meant to be the most introspective but I do hope it gives you a bit of insight if you decide to check out my work.
