About Dilan Jay
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
One of my earliest musical memories was my cousin asking me to dance when I was about six or seven. He told me that Sri Lankans are dancers, that rhythm was in my blood. That moment stayed with me and shaped how I felt music early on.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Eagles, Eagles Greatest Hits, Vol. 2
Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood Mac: Greatest Hits
The Notorious B.I.G., Life After Death (2014 Remaster)
These were the albums I listened to the most in high school. They shaped my taste across genres, from storytelling and emotion to melody and groove. Each one influenced how I hear music and how I approach my own sound today.

“September Rain”
One song of mine I love is September Rain. It represents a reinvention of who I am as an artist. I produced it myself and blended singing with rapping in a way that feels honest, powerful, and uniquely mine.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
One of the most memorable moments in my career was entering a war zone in Sri Lanka during the civil conflict. I was the only civilian allowed in with a camera after taking a public stand against terrorism and the LTTE.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
My bucket list is simple. I want my work to be acknowledged and to build real visibility on YouTube, a platform where I can speak freely, create honestly, and connect directly with people without gatekeepers.
