WHAT IT IS: The U.K.-based band/production team makes acoustic-laced, dance-driven pop that captures the free spirit of the globe-traveling drifter who inspired both their music and their name. “Dillon’s got no home, no destination. He’s not chasing dreams; he’s living them. He’s a free spirit who travels the world, surfing, kicking back and enjoying what life has to offer,” explains David Keiffer, who founded Life of Dillon with childhood friend Joe Griffith and his brother Robert Griffith in 2014. After crossing paths with a stranger named Dillon while visiting Brazil (the Griffith brothers’ birthplace), the trio returned home to London and began writing and recording dozens of songs built on bright melodies, propulsive beats and warm acoustic guitar riffs.
