He was crowned “country music’s next rising star” by Billboard, proving that newcomer Dylan Schneider is well on his way to breaking out.
The singer/songwriter got his start posting videos on YouTube covering popular country songs when he was just 14. But it wasn’t until he posted a snippet of a song he was working on, “Ain’t Missin’ You,” on TikTok, that things really heated up. That snippet racked up over 156 million views, 182,000 user-generated videos and 55 million on-demand streams as well as 1 million YouTube views. He quickly went back to his writing room to finish the song, and it didn’t take long for the 24-year-old to sign a record deal with BBR Music Group and hit the road opening for country superstars including Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line and, this coming fall, Kane Brown.
Last week also marked a couple of milestones for the Terre Haute, Ind., native. Last Friday, Schneider released his EP “Bad Decisions,” featuring six cuts he co-wrote, and he also made his debut at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, Calif., where he performed on Sunday.
Here, Schneider shares his experiences at country music’s version of Coachella.
