Dylan Schneider was born on October 9, 1999. Terre Haute, Indiana, United States is an American country music singer and composer. He released his first debut extended work, Wannabe in August 2016. With the label "Upcoming rising star of country music" by Billboard, Schneider got two EPs in the top 20 of the list of Heatseekers albums of the magazine in less than a year without a label to support them. Schneider was a fan of pop music and hip hop when he was a child, but later he was attracted to the narrative aspect of country music and began singing at age 14. After meeting Brett Eldredge at a concert in the singer's hometown (Paris, Illinois), Schneider was invited to the stage by Eldredge to perform a song during the latter's performance at Terre Haute. He then began writing and playing songs in both Indiana and Nashville, Tennessee. Between 2014 and 2016, Schneider published a series of videos on YouTube of him making versions of popular country songs, which earned him attention online. The first video was published on May 18, 2014.
