GreenHitz.com Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 A UK-based band/production team, Life of Dillon 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 to their home in London and began writing and recording dozens of songs built on bright melodies, propulsive beats, and warm acoustic guitar riffs. The songs for their debut EP Prologue and album to follow were written, performed, and produced entirely by the band in the house where Joe, Robert, and David have lived together in north London for the past 2 years (the same house whose ceiling once collapsed from the vibrations of their amped-up playing in the deep hours of the night). The type of sunny, shimmering pop that invokes summertime in any weather, their music pushes that party-ready vibe into unexpected directions by weaving each beat-soaked track with earthy acoustic elements (including banjo and ukulele along with guitar). Throughout their songs, Life of Dillon also take on a role as storytellers, using their lyrics to pass on pieces of inspiration gleaned from their own lives and their time with Dillon. With its massive beats, lush acoustic strumming and soaring, soulful vocals, lead single “Overload” brilliantly channels the thrill of breaking free from 9-to-5 living. “Bluebirds” pairs pounding rhythms and a moodier, more melancholy tone in its reflection on self-sacrifice in love, while the fired-up, piano-fueled “Toys” (featuring L Marshall, Joe and Robert’s older brother) looks at childhood ambitions and how they evolve over the years. And on the blissfully anthemic “Dreams,” Life of Dillon offer up a bit of wisdom that sums up the band’s philosophy in one killer line: “If your dreams don’t scare you, they ain’t big enough.” For Life of Dillon, dreams of musical triumph started when each member was a little kid. Born in Brazil to a Nigerian mother and British father, Joe and Robert joined the church choir as children but soon quit to create their own kind of music. During several years spent in Nigeria later in their childhood, Robert taught himself to make beats, while Joe tried his hand at songwriting. Meanwhile, in a small southeast England town called Deal, David grew up in an exceptionally musical family (his mother played piano and wrote her own compositions, while his father constructed guitars, banjos, violins, and other assorted instruments). At a young age, David would pick up the instruments lying around the house and teach himself to play. While attending a secondary school in Kent and playing drums in a punk band, David first met Joe and promptly left the group so that the two could start writing songs together. Soon after the duo began collaborating and playing gigs in local pubs, David and Joe got involved in the music Robert was creating with L Marshall. Working out of the studio that Robert had built in the attic of their family’s house, David and the Griffiths made their earliest attempts at tying their R&B, hip-hop, pop, and folk influences together into a cohesive sound. “There was no structure—our parents weren’t around, so we were just having fun making all this different music,” says Joe. And although Robert had taken up studying computer science at a nearby college, he ended up devoting most of his time to his production work. As Robert began working with a host of artists and producing out of his attic studio, Joe and David forged ahead with their own music and even crashed a few of Robert’s sessions to pitch their songs. After graduating college in 2012, the two dedicated themselves to music full time but struggled to break through. Revitalized by their experience in meeting Dillon, Robert, Joe, and David decided to form their own band and threw themselves into making songs as Life of Dillon. Life of Dillon thrive on pushing themselves and each other into new creative territory with their music. “It takes a long time to build a musical relationship that makes sense, and for us it’s like second nature at this point,” says David. “We know how much space to give each other and how to let everyone do their own thing, and how to make it all eventually come together into something that we all love.” Not only a product of that powerful chemistry, the frenetic energy that infuses the music has much to do with Life of Dillon’s fierceness of spirit. “One of the things that means the most to us is we did this all ourselves,” says Joe. “We’ve been in this house since we were kids making whatever music we want, however we want. We just never stopped doing what we love to do.” The first act signed to Disruptor Records—a recently launched joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment CEO Doug Morris and The Chainsmokers' manager Adam Alpert—Life of Dillon is set to release a debut EP and album on Epic Records, aptly titled, Prologue, showcasing that infectiously summery sound and the band’s own power to uplift and inspire.
