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, Vimeo Staff Pick-ed shorts, and done commercial work for brands like Lindt, Nickelodeon, Oakley, Red Bull, Alessi, and PBS. 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."
