Early Life

Dylan Clotfelter was a creative spirit from the start, never confined by convention or traditional boundaries. Before his passion for music took root, Dylan channeled his imagination through storytelling and conjuring cinematic scenarios using his Legos. Growing up in an era when video games heavily influenced young minds, Dylan found music in an unconventional way—through videos games. His natural feel for rhythm quickly settled in whilst playing Rock Band for the Wii. To this day, Dylan still credits video games to his natural and internal feel for complicated rhythms.

Education

Dylan’s journey in music theory officially began with drum lessons at Doug Key’s Musicology in Newnan, Georgia. Guided by instructors Torrie Boyd and Jack Jones, he developed a solid foundation in drumming technique, proper form, and music reading. Under their mentorship, Dylan learned to blend technical skill with expressive performance, gaining the proficiency that would define his style. Guitar and bass instructor David Puett expanded Dylan's musical toolkit by introducing him to songwriting, while audio engineer Paul Patton from Lagrange, Georgia, cultivated his curiosity for music production. This mentorship lit the spark for Dylan's exploration of Audio Engineering, and he soon began recording and producing for himself and other artists.
