Dylan Gossett
Class of 2025
Dylan Gossett is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas. Gossett began writing and recording music during his early teen years using GarageBand on his mother’s computer. Throughout high school, college at Texas A&M, and a job at Formula 1 Racing, music remained Gossett’s true passion. Inspired to finally release music by a new generation of singer-songwriters he saw emerging online, Dylan began posting videos of his songs in April 2023—immediately, his music struck a chord with a global audience.
Gossett released his first single “To Be Free” (entirely self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) in June 2023. Shortly thereafter, he teased a snippet of what would become his next song and breakout viral hit “Coal.” The video instantly took off, gaining over one million views within the first week. He quickly got back into his bedroom and created the song from scratch before releasing it in July 2023. The New York Times called “Coal” “one of the year’s best country songs,” and Billboard declared, “‘Coal’ and ‘To Be Free’ position Gossett as a formidable, heart-on-his-sleeve singer-songwriter with immense potential.”
In October 2023, Gossett released his highly anticipated debut EP No Better Time (also self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. The EP received a slew of critical acclaim from The New York Times, Billboard, Grammy.com, Atwood Magazine, MusicRow, Holler, Country Central, and more. He then followed it up with his widely praised 2024 EP, Songs In The Gravel, which he wrote and self-produced, while also teaming up with notable producers Eddie Spear and Ian Fitchuk on a few tracks. His most recent release “Stronger Than A Storm” was featured on the GRAMMY®-nominated Twisters: The Album soundtrack. To date, Gossett has tallied over 700 million career streams and multiple platinum certifications, and earned a Top 5 on Australian Country radio, entered the U.K. Official Singles chart, and was recognized as one of the Top 3 international country acts in 2024.
On the touring front in 2024, Gossett headlined shows across the U.S., Europe, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, selling over 72,000 tickets globally. He also played his debut festivals at SXSW, Two Step Inn, Hangout Festival, and Tortuga, amongst others. For 2025, Gossett will be headlining C2C Berlin alongside performances at C2C London, Manchester, and Belfast, and will also be making his Stagecoach debut in April alongside a 23-city headline tour. Gossett was also recently announced on Bourbon & Beyond and Under The Big Sky.
