Dylan Glatthorn

Dylan is a Brooklyn-based composer and lyricist. He has worked with Grammy- and Tony-winning performers and producers, and his music has been described by the New York Times as “assured” with the “steaminess and drive of Janacek” and the “harmonic allure” of Debussy.

​

Dylan has written music for eleven feature films and done commercial work for brands like Lindt, Nickelodeon, Oakley, Red Bull, Alessi, PBS, and the Tokyo Metro. He prides himself on forming meaningful creative partnerships with the directors he works with, knowing how important music is to the integrity of a film. For his work in film, he has been awarded the Clive Davis Award for Excellence in Music in Film and Best Original Score at the First Run Film Festival. Dylan is also a part of the Shipwrecked Comedy family — writing everything from scores for beloved web series like Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party to original standalone songs like "Friends 'til the End."

​

He was the co-composer and arranger for Diana DeGarmo‘s GEMINI and co-producer and arranger for Lolo’s X and Lauren. He has served as music director and arranger for the USO Show Troupe as well as numerous award-winning cabaret productions for artists including Diana DeGarmo & Ace Young (American Idol, Hair), Alexa Green (Wicked, Company), Blaine Alden Krauss (Hamilton, Kinky Boots), Janine DiVita (Jagged Little Pill, Grease), and Michelle Dowdy (Les Miserables, Hairspray) at Feinstein’s/54 Below, The Laurie Beechman Theatre, The Metropolitan Room, and Birdland.
