This is your possibility to have a chat with Dylan John Thomas – Scotland’s breakthrough star in 2022.
What was the story in 2021?
It’s been a wild ride. After the lockdown ended, no one knew what was about to happen to music. My first performance returned came on stage at TRNSMT and to step onto the stage and witness the crowds of people difficult to comprehend and realize that everybody was there had not been to concerts for the better part time of nearly two years. My first headline tour, which I was awestruck by the experience. We’d released the EP and it was my first time I’d played with a collection of songs released, so there were songs that people had heard that were played throughout the set. It was not necessary to leave the most popular ones until the final show.
How have you dealt with the spread of the virus?
I was fine since I had a small studio in my home studio which allowed me to make demos and write them down as well as learning new guitar styles and that. I also played a lot of FIFA in a hefty amount of FIFA on the internet with my friends which is why we stayed connected through Facetime. We just Skyped and played to the PlayStation until four in the morning. We also played guitar. I put on around an inch of weight eating takeaways, before being worried due to the pandemic.
You’re named after Bob Dylan – is that difficult to live up? How did you start playing the guitar?
I’m not sure how to respond – the answer is Bob Dylan. I imagine we’d be in the foster home playing Tony Hawk’s music on the PlayStation around seven years old. young and there’d be a kid who was hogging the remote, so we’d never have a shot. We’d be listening to music as Ring of Fire would repeat throughout the throughout the day. We’d dance around the room and singing it, with the joy of our life. It was the first song that I learned when I first got an instrument. I would see documentaries about the artist and they’d talk about Leonard Cohen, The Beatles Simon and Garfunkel and many other authors, and I’d explore more the details about their work and then listen to them sing.
