Dylan Guthro
Canadian singer-songwriter
Musical artist
Dylan Guthro (born January 27, 1991) is a Canadian singer/songwriter based in Nashville . The son of musician Bruce Guthro , Dylan released his debut album, All That's True , in 2012.[ 1] In 2015, Guthro teamed up with fellow Halifax singer-songwriters Carleton Stone and Breagh Mackinnon to form the band Port Cities .[ 2]
Life and career
Dylan Guthro was exposed to music since birth as the son of Cape Breton singer-songwriter Bruce Guthro.[ 3] While on tour with his father, Guthro played some demos he had recorded of his own material to musician Dave Gunning . Gunning was eager to help transform the demos into a full-fledged album. What eventually became All That's True was recorded and mixed over a number of different sessions during the course of six months. Bruce Guthro co-wrote five of the album's songs, and it was not the first time they had collaborated; Dylan had co-written four on Bruce's previous release, No Final Destination .[ 1]
All That's True (co-produced by Gunning and Bruce Guthro) was released in 2012. It was called "one of the strongest debut albums" of the year by a music critic in the Prince Edward Island Guardian , and won the Best New Artist Recording of the Year at the Nova Scotia Music Awards in 2012.[ 4] The album also received a number of placements on the popular Canadian television series, Degrassi: The Next Generation.[ 5] [ 6] Guthro has toured extensively in Canada, as well as Europe.
Guthro's 2014 release, "Do It All Again," was written with singer-songwriter David Myles , and produced by rapper Classified .[ 2] The song placed in the finals in the 2015 USA Songwriting Competition in the R&B Category.[ 7]
Also in 2014, Guthro made his producing debut, when he co-produced singer-songwriter Dave Sampson's debut album, "No Pressure No Diamonds."[ 8]
Guthro has co-written songs with artists of many different genres, and over the years became more and more involved in working with local hip-hop and EDM artists, resulting in three features on Quake Matthews’ latest album Rap Music .[ 9] He also had several co-writing credits on Neon Dreams ’ album The Last of Us including being featured alongside rapper Waka Flocka Flame on the single "High."
In 2015, Guthro and fellow singer-songwriters Carleton Stone and Breagh Mackinnon united to form the band Port Cities . The band makes singer-songwriter-style pop music featuring both two- and three-part harmonies.[ 2] They originally met at the Gordie Sampson Songcamp in Cape Breton early in the summer of 2011, and have been playing together as a threesome for a few years before officially becoming a band.[ 10] The band recorded their debut album in both Cape Breton and Nashville with producer/songwriter Gordie Sampson which was released in February 2017.[ 11] [ 2] [ 10] [ 12]
In July 2016, Guthro released a self-titled solo urban pop EP, which includes tracks co-written with his two Port Cities bandmates, as well as collaborations with Quake Matthews and members of Neon Dreams.[ 13] [ 14]
