Biographie
Dylan began his pursuit of music making at a very young age, developing his classical discipline through the Suzuki method, and then branched out into the jazz and improvisation world in his youth as well. After attending Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas, TX., he continued his education at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA. There he received his degree in Piano Performance and Improvisation, and cultivated his unique and eclectic styles into composition, arranging, and music production. After moving to Los Angeles, becoming a touring musician, receiving a platinum record and recording on dozens of records, he became the in-house music producer for High Valley Entertainment, a music production company based in Los Angeles. There he produced a number of artists and bands, composed for commercials, film, and television, and honed in on his ability to translate the needs and desires of musicians and clients into high-quality, effective music. In 2011, he founded Charbeneau Music, a music collective that serves the needs of the entire musical food chain, from writing and producing singles and album tracks, to commercial cues, television spots, original movie trailer scores, video game music, and much more. Since its founding, Charbeneau Music has worked with over 100 different clients, including NBC, HBO, Netflix, Disney, Google, Toyota, Target, MasterCard and Facebook. In 2018, he began working with DSPs (Spotify/Amazon Music/Apple Music/Pandora/etc), creating music for official playlists under dozens of different monikers. Genres included lofi, pop, wellness (meditation/sleep/binaural), solo piano, and children's lullabies, generating hundreds of millions of streams. Today, Dylan expands his catalog for playlisting, continues doing licensing and placement work, and consults on music streaming, music technology and artist development.
