Dylan Chambers

Ever since he was singing along to “Hound Dog” as a kid, Dylan Chambers has known the value of diving deeply through the technicolor whirlpool of musical history. The LA-based singer-songwriter dances and dives his way from ‘50s rock to ‘70s soul, modern pop to vintage funk, treating each with reverence and pulling the styles together in his own kaleidoscopic vision. “I want to carry that torch like an Olympic runner—finding the unison and the contrast between these incredible sounds and modern music,” Chambers says of his new EP, the ecstatic Dreaming in Technicolor (released October 2025). “Artists like Chuck Berry and Al Green were producing this deep, vibrant music that brought excitement and danger to a straightlaced world, and I want people to know we can still do that.” Chambers first shared his impeccable blend of precision and passion on his debut EP, 2024’s For Your Listening Pleasure. That record tapped into the sort of out-of-time brilliance of Silk Sonic and Black Pumas, though with the added brilliance of his beatific energy—sweet and warm whether reveling in life’s beauty or sharing in its pain. That depth has led to collaborations with beloved experimentalists like G. Love, Dave Koz, and Ozomatli. While that range might seem unusual, drawing together the wide musical universe runs at the core of Chambers’ artistic drive. “I love so much music that I want to tap into all of it, to never do the same thing twice,” he says. “This EP feels like the moment when TV and movies turned from black and white to color—bringing so much new joy, new energy to a world that can feel so dark.” Chambers has toured Europe with Lawrence, completed a month long residency at the esteemed Café Carlyle in Hong Kong and shared the stage with Allen Stone, Fitz and The Tantrums, John Oates, Ripe and Theo Katzman. In late 2026, he will join Dave Koz as a featured artist on the Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour.
