Dylan Trần (he/they) (1994—) is a multi-media artist based out of New Orleans. Praised for “an entirely refreshing and distinct compositional voice” (CAI), Dylan views music as a form of world-building, poignantly evoking nuanced atmospheres within an intimately expressive writing style. Unrestrained by genre, Dylan’s work explores many themes: mental health, generational trauma, inner child work, diasporas, identity, class, gender, family dynamics, redefining home, fostering joy, and more. Outside of concert music, Dylan is passionate about building community, film scoring, eating, languages, film and TV, DEI, education, travel, skateboarding, frisbee, photography, videography, new experiences, nature, and spending time with family and friends. Dylan’s music has been performed across the country and in Europe.
