About Dylan Hayes
Origin Records traces Hayes from Marin School of the Arts to a 2019 Cornish College of the Arts graduation, where his studies included piano and arranging with Seattle musicians and educators.[1]
His Seattle work connects the Jim Knapp Orchestra book, the co-led DX-TET, Meridian Odyssey recordings, and an electric band that draws on jazz, R&B, neo-soul, hip-hop, and funk.[1][2]

Electric-band writing
The artist-authorized catalog names Hayes on keyboards and synth and identifies the band's cross-genre writing palette.[2]
