U.K. singer, rapper and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Cartlidge has signed a worldwide deal with Glassnote Records.

Cartlidge has worked with James Dring (Jamie T, Gorillaz) and St Francis Hotel (producers of Scratch, Sniff), released a handful of singles, played major U.K. festivals and been touted as an artist to watch by Fader, NME, Clash and more. He will be touring with Bad Sounds and Darwin Deez on their U.K. tours this fall.

“I heard Dylan’s music once and I was speechless,” Glassote Entertainment Group Founder/CEO Daniel Glass said. “He is a once in a lifetime, authentic, unique career artist. The fact that I cannot pigeonhole his music in any category makes me confident that Dylan will blaze a new original trail for others to follow. Dylan’s music is an oasis of positivity in this fragile, cynical world.”

Cartlidge said, "There was never any doubt or confusion in my mind around the signing. I'd met Daniel & the team many times and their skills in the industry, their recent successes and their uniquely reassuring philosophical & musical values all align pretty damn well with my own. My only question is, does this mean I have to run the New York Marathon?”
