2- 23-year-old Dylan might be destined for pop glory, but the influence of more alternative sounds colours her tongue-in-cheek characterisation of herself as “a wannabe rock star in a pop star’s body”.
Her candidness and determination is part of what has amassed her an incredibly loyal and passionate fan base to form around her via her own sold out headline performances across the globe including a mammoth UK & US stadium tour alongside Ed Sheeran and her own sold-out worldwide headline shows.
Growing up, she was raised on a diet of classic rock. “My career is entirely my dad’s fault – he’s very straight-down-the-line but he brought me up on a lot of rock’n’roll like AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and Rainbow,” she explains.
With impeccable pop anthems destined to continue hooking people into her world, she’s keeping her ambitions fittingly bold. “I want to be respected as a songwriter – for me it really is just about the music,” she explains. “And I want to headline Wembley – that’s everything I’ve had my sights on.”

Alfreds Disguise
Dylan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In all black. Repeat: all. black. His glasses appear to be fucked up
Fell asleep on the west coast
Woke up in Sunrise
Always talk 'bout my shades dog
Yea I rock tape on both sides
Never need a fuckin' co-sign
Tear it down, raise the roof
Pray to God I go to heaven
Spit the flame verse next to Kevin
Remember they wouldn't believe in him
Now all of the secrets I'm keepin' 'em
The MSFTS Kevin Smith
Go ahead and call me four-eyes
Auto-pilot when I drive by
No license, big surprise
In that all black, Alfreds Disguise
Slippin', slippin', ya slippin' ya slippin' ya slippin'
To be honest all you niggas trippin'
No idea what all ya niggas sippin'
And you walk around like a zero
Too bad you're a fuckin' weirdo
Alfred is a hero
Thought I made myself clear hoe
Take your best written verse, wait
Just to locate, the nearest trashcan
Put my mask on like I'm Batman
Man that shit is entertainin'
Damn, the game need savin'
And y'all just been patiently waitin'
For me to drop the fuckin album, swear that shit's 'gon be astoundin'
Lost my mind, couple years ago, swear to God, have you fuckin' found it?
On everything I really do this
K.K.S. is my movement
Had to go and keep it fluid
Had to go and keep it real
Had to go and keep it trill
Had to go and say just what I feel
If you sat me down tryna switch it up, bet you that I wouldn't sign the deal
"More consciousness!"
"Is you gay bro?"
Not gonna lie, low-key though
And they feelin' him, can't doubt him
Ima drop two albums
Fuck around (pull up)
When I wake up
Fell asleep on the west coast
Woke up in sunrise
Always talk 'bout my shades dog
Yea I rock tape on both sides
Never need a fuckin' co-sign
Got my dogs out the coupe
Tear it down, raise the roof
Pray to God I go to heaven
Spit the flame verse next to Kevin
Remember they wouldn't believe in him
Now all of the secrets I'm keepin' 'em
The MSFTS Kevin Smith
Go ahead and call me four-eyes
Auto-pilot when I drive by
No license, big surprise
In that all black, Alfreds Disguise

Unfortunately, you are an odd and eccentric individual
Alfred is a hero
Alfred, a character known for his heroic attributes

I had to express my emotions and thoughts openly

If you attempted to change my style, I guarantee I would refuse to sign any contracts

Are you homosexual, my friend?
Not gonna lie, low-key though

And they feelin' him, can't doubt him
People are appreciating and connecting with him, there's no room for doubt
Ima drop two albums
I plan to release two music albums
Fuck around (pull up)
Engage in reckless behavior (arrive suddenly)
When I wake up
Upon awakening
Fell asleep on the west coast
I dozed off on the western side of the country
Woke up in sunrise
I awoke in a place called Sunrise
Always talk 'bout my shades dog
I frequently mention my sunglasses, my friend
Yea I rock tape on both sides
Yes, I adorn my shades with tape on both temples
Never need a fuckin' co-sign
I don't require any damn approval or endorsement from others
Got my dogs out the coupe
