In a word… multifaceted. Juno-nominated Dylan Bell is a vocalist, instrumentalist (piano, bass, guitar, Stick, percussion), composer/arranger, music director and producer/engineer. Dylan’s musical curiosity keeps him effortlessly crossing and blurring musical boundaries with many of Canada’s premier vocal ensembles such as Cadence, Hampton Avenue, The Watch, FreePlay, and Retrocity. When he’s not singing, he freelances as a multi-instrumentalist. Behind the mixing board, Dylan has produced or engineered several award-winning albums, including a Juno co-nomination as Best Engineer for the Cadence album Twenty For One, the album Ferris Wheels with the world-renowned Swingles from the UK, and the The Nylons final Juno-nominated album, Skin Tight. When it comes to vocal arranging, Dylan wrote the book… literally. His major works “A Cappella Arranging” and followup book “A Cappella Arranging 2.0” (co-written with Deke Sharon) were published to international acclaim, and his choral compositions and arrangements have been performed worldwide from Adelaide to Zurich.
