Dylan Sinclair

JUNO Award-winning Toronto singer-songwriter Dylan Sinclair is rapidly becoming a dominant figure in

the genre. Hailed as an “R&B king in the making” by Complex and recognized as a “leading voice

reshaping Toronto’s R&B sound” by CBC Radio, Sinclair’s trajectory is undeniable.

Since age 15, Sinclair’s artistic evolution has been punctuated by his profound songwriting and innate

musicality. His 2018 debut EP, Red Like Crimson, caught the attention of Jordon Manswell – the JUNO

Award-winning Toronto producer whose discography includes hits for Daniel Caesar, Mariah Carey,

dvsn, Tory Lanez, and LOONY to name a few – who collaborated with Sinclair on his gospel-tinged

2020 EP, Proverb, which led to Sinclair’s first JUNO Award nomination for “Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of The Year.”

The Filipino-Guyanese artist’s 2022 EP, No Longer in the Suburbs, solidified his rise and saw the 23-

year-old staying true to his essence. Noteworthy singles issued from the 2023 Polaris Music Prize-

nominated record included “Lifetime” and “Open,” the latter of which received a remix featuring DESTIN

CONRAD and JVCK JAMES that premiered alongside an official video featuring the three promising

stars. No Longer in the Suburbs earned him his second Juno nomination at the 2023 JUNO Awards for

Contemporary R&B/Soul Recording of the Year. That night, Sinclair won his first JUNO Award for

Traditional R&B/Soul Recording for his duet with Savannah Ré.

Sinclair’s unique take on R&B has since earned him praise from The GRAMMYs, The Toronto Star,

Complex, Billboard, BET, Vibe, UPROXX, Teen VOGUE, ESSENCE, and more. The ASCAP “On The

Come Up” songwriter has recorded with renowned producers such as Jordon Manswell, Boi-1da

(Drake, Rihanna, Eminem, Cardi B), Rowan (Bryson Tiller, GIVĒON, Russ), and Marcus Semaj

(GIVĒON, Snoh Aalegra, dvsn). Additionally, he’s also collaborated with rising R&B artists such as

Savannah Ré, Joyce Wrice, Emanuel, DESTIN CONRAD, and JVCK JAMES.

Over the past year, Dylan has celebrated multiple sold out headline shows – including three consecutive

sold out hometown shows at Toronto’s TD Music Hall – his first in the US at Baby’s All Right

(Brooklyn, NY), The Echo (Los Angeles, CA), and Vinyl (Atlanta, GA). Additionally, a debut sold out

show in UK/Europe at Village Underground (London, UK).
