At twelve she began writing songs and by fifteen she was taking on the L.A. club scene, frequenting the famous career-launching Genghis Cohen. Her debut EP, Acclimating, released in 2010. Her second EP, Anything But Scared, released 2011. Dylan has lived in New York and Paris, where she has collaborated with various artists recording and performing live. Her most recent collaboration was with French artist Thylacine on "Distance," for his new EP Blend, which released June 2014. Her songs have been described as “filled with sensuous detail and complex emotion accurately conveyed” (The Faster Times). Nichols’s other important influences include Fiona Apple, Shawn Colvin, Elliott Smith, Bon Iver, Radiohead, Imogen Heap and Bjork. She will release several new singles in 2014.

…this generation needs an authentic, down-to-earth artist pointing the way to calmer, more soulful times. That voice is Dylan Nichols. [Nichols’s] songs are centered on intimacy and a lack thereof. She tells personal love stories sans Taylor Swiftian simplicity. Her lyrics don’t reveal a plot. Instead, they are filled with sensuous detail and complex emotion accurately conveyed.
