New single from DILAN SKIES

British-Indian singer-songwriter and producer DILAN SKIES is fast becoming a compelling voice in the UK’s pop and R&B scene. Growing up with a love for music, he began developing his sonic talents as a teenager, finding his passion for singing after casually performing in front of friends.

Encouraged by their reactions, he spent his early years in his bedroom, quietly crafting his songwriting and production techniques. His breakthrough came at the age of 18 when he submitted a demo to a competition held by musician and influencer Edgar Sandoval Jr. Despite the rough quality of the demo, recorded on his phone, Edgar was impressed enough to select DILAN as the winner and take him on as a mentee.

This moment sparked the confidence DILAN needed to take his music more seriously, leading to the release of his debut single, “Not Over You,” in 2020. The lockdowns of 2021 provided DILAN with the opportunity to focus even more on his music, refining his sound through subsequent releases like “Cold On Me” and “Make It Whistle,” collaborations with close friends Elion Melody and Eric Matthys.

By 2023, DILAN had begun blending his pop stylings with R&B influences drawn from his childhood inspirations, including Craig David, Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake. With an album on the horizon for 2025, “Leave It All Behind” is his latest single, marking another step in DILAN’s journey and showcasing the wide appeal of his sound.

Setting the scene with soft guitar plucks and delicate vocals that float elegantly above, the track builds with the hushed punch of percussion as DILAN spins soulful melodies. As the arrangement comes into sharp focus, snapping beat and gliding synth tones collide to form an engaging soundscape capped by his superb vocal performance.

Once again serving up with emotive songwriting and vocal flair wrapped up in a gripping sound of alternative R&B pop music, “Leave It All Behind” sees this exciting artist deliver an epic jam that’s sure to win over fans across the UK and beyond. With his debut full-length record on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what DILAN SKIES has in store next.
