DILLON HAVINS

Dillon Havins’ musical journey began on a small farm in Dripping Springs, Texas, where, as a young boy, he found inspiration in the timeless performances of Elvis Presley on YouTube. At nine, he was already learning Elvis’ songs and sharing them at local open mic nights. By twelve, Dillon was traveling across Texas, playing gigs and honing his craft.

​

His dedication to music led him to Boston’s Berklee College of Music, where he immersed himself in a vibrant community of global musicians. This experience broadened his musical palette and deepened his artistic vision. However, the pandemic abruptly halted his burgeoning career and first nationwide tour, bringing him back to his roots in Texas.

​

Back home, Dillon became the lead guitarist for Sneaky Peaches and the Fuzz, an Indie Pop band that saw remarkable success. They played at Austin’s Blues on the Green, opened for Mount Joy, and celebrated over 3 million streams on Spotify. Despite these achievements, Dillon never lost sight of his personal musical aspirations.

​

Between 2021 and 2024, Dillon’s relentless gigging—nearly 1,000 performances across Texas—was a testament to his unwavering commitment. During this period, he began creating home recordings that encapsulated what he cherished most about music: its ability to evoke a sense of contemplative peace.

​

For Dillon, music is a reflection of his deep love for nature, mountains, and national parks. He strives to infuse his songs with the same tranquility and introspection he finds in these natural sanctuaries. His new music marks a significant shift, a return to his core musical values and an exploration of serene, reflective soundscapes.

​

In September of 2024, Dillon released his first single, "You're Gonna Find It," which has accumulated around 20,000 streams on Spotify. This new beginning is more than just a restart; it’s a heartfelt continuation of his journey, sharing the peace and contemplation he finds in nature through his music.
