I’ve been putting myself out there more and connecting with a lot of new music artists. If you ever want to collaborate on a song feel free to reach out and we’ll make something happen.

Music teaches me life lessons and sometimes life teaches me musical lessons

Keep making music even when it’s not rewarding

My personal definition of music producer: A creative director who guides artists from idea to finished record by combining arrangement, artist development, session leadership, technical knowledge, and artistic vision.

It may be my own personal growth speaking but I’m really enjoying treating music as collaborative rather than competitive. Every project feels much more rewarding when its success is shared with others.

I’m pleasantly surprised to be chomping on some late night sour skittles that aren’t stale! I feel like skittles is a candy I’ve eaten stale more often than not.

In addition to this what happened to golden oldies. I still want to hear some Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, The Drifters, Chuck Berry, at this point I’ll even take some early Rolling Stones. I’m only 31!

My music roots are hardcore and I love any opportunity I have to make songs with this energy and punch 🤜

Be authentic is terrible advice for musicians. The industry figured out the authenticity equation years ago. My alternative advice is find something within yourself that is so unique that it can’t easily be replicated by anyone.

It’s never to late to make a change

As I pursue my journey of producing music stories like this are inspiring www.news4jax.com/news/local/2...

Who is your favorite music influencer? To keep things interesting you can also state your least favorite.

I’m against state sanctioned talking points

I get tired of people stopping me on the street and going aren’t you Dylan from Bluesky!? Be respectful if you see me out in public

If anyone ever insults your music tell them you intentionally made the composition dissonant

Carey Means who voiced Frylock on ATHF is currently homeless with his wife! Buy something off his website to help out one of the voices of my childhood! www.careymeansfrylock.com

I saw Mastodon once. Eagles of Death Metal opened for them. It was in a venue that felt like a gymnasium. Glad to read they’re back making music. RIP to Brent Hinds. www.vice.com/en/article/m...

I remember recording guitar for this instrumental. I’m not sure if the drums are sampled/programmed/beat pad etc. The weird sparkly effect could be a soft synth or a sample.

I had just got a cheap Glarry guitar and wanted to record something before I setup the guitar. This is a $75 guitar unmodified on this track.

For pride I’m looking to collaborate with other lgbtq+ artists If you’re a singer, musician or band hmu 🌈

As much as we all love MTV unplugged and its iconic performances did you know that it was created in response to the Milli Vanilli controversy?

If you just recently started following me hello 👋 I’m a 31 year old musician working in Los Angeles to pursue my dream of music production

I think I made this when I first got my thinline

I made this in an old apartment using laptop speakers, a 19” inch monitor, a 2015 Mac mini(which I still use), and an avid mbox mini.

I was listening to a lot of boom bap, lo-fi beats, and NY hip-hip when I made this instrumental

My following on Bluesky is 100% organic, non-GMO and is grown without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, animal by-products, or antibiotics

Experiences like seeing David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive at Hollywood Forever Cemetery are what make Los Angeles so special to me.

When did people start trashing pentatonic scales? I know that the heavy bends and sticking in the Am box is a bit of a bore but I don’t think that 5 note scales should be thrown away in the name of complexity.

Are you able to imitate other musicians? Whenever I get a “you sound like ____ comment” very rarely is it someone I was intentionally trying to sound like.

I might have to pick up one of these in the near future www.musicradar.com/artists/sets...

I appreciate the community of musicians on this platform. You have made me so much more confident in my creative abilities and I rarely get hate comments on here. There needs to be more spaces for creative people to make mistakes and grow as artists.

“Being real is not about being seen the most,” she says. “It is not about being the loudest. It’s about how much you can share being your true self, saying what you believe, no matter what it is. It’s authenticity over approval.” -Megan Thee Stallion

Music as a life path is a journey of perseverance

can't really share this any other way because it's not released anywhere else right now but I've been working with this guy... very witch-house inspired rap... quite unique I think, hopefully you can check it out. www.instagram.com/reel/DY0u0sL...

I finally downloaded Koala Sampler It’s the most intuitive and simple digital sampler I’ve ever used. 5/5 and worth the $5

I’m always working on music and getting new gear. Currently I’m looking to upgrade my 2015 Mac mini. You can support my musical dreams and ambitions here: ko-fi.com/dylanrush222

Modern musicians do all this work on promotion but don’t bother coming up with any lore. I need mystery and maybe even a touch of danger.

Global events are not a reason to stop creating art. Until those global events come to your front door and tell you that you’re no longer allowed to create, keep going.

Can you make a Stylophone Ambient?

We all have our artistic definitions of authenticity and the corporations and politicians have theirs. Don’t ever confuse those definitions.

I made this track by mastering onto cassette and then recording back into digital #musicsky #musiciansky #animesky #originalmusicsky

In another life my music was meant for PS2 racing games #musicsky #musiciansky #videogamesky

I recorded this with a cheap guitar before I modded it. The tone was in my heart ❤️

Careers in audio are so non linear and non sensical but I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

The Mandalorian and Grogu was unexpectedly awesome. Saw it in IMAX at the TCL Chinese theater in Hollywood. I was nervous because the theater was practically empty but my spouse and I were engaged for the full two hours. Jeremy Allen White as a hutt wasn’t nearly as strange as it sounds!

Don’t listen to the bitter people, it’s ok to do touristy things in your own city

As I get older my arrangements and mixes become more refined and minimalist. At this rate I predict I’ll get a hit song down to 4 notes and 3 seconds by the time I’m old.
