Hailed by Notion as the “internet sad boy icon of our dreams, ” Dillons genre bending anthems blaze with a cinematic allure shimmering from a collision of electropop, new wave, & post-punk sensibility. His self-produced singles, “lovely.” “Plastic Ferrari,” and “Alien Boyfriend” surpassed 5M+ streams this year, and he signed to PEN Music Publishing, quickly gaining sync placements on HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls, Batwoman, Riverdale, Love Island UK, MTV and Amazon Prime original series The Lake. His foray into dance music has landed him billing as a DJ/Club Performer for sold-out shows in the US and Europe, and featured collaborations with heavy hitters like nowifi on the track “Undefined.” Now approaching 11 million streams across his catalog, Dillon’s music has been hailed by Music Insider as “a total masterpiece” and featured in “Best New Songs of the Week” by Billboard, Paper, MTV News, V Magazine and 1883 Magazine.
After a life-altering collision carved a fresh ethos into his artistry, Dillon's personal and musical trajectory now mirrors an unexpected transition back to the isolating streets of suburbia that he initially ran from. Shedding the picture perfect Ken-Doll fantasy of his earlier works, Dillon’s critically acclaimed self-production and conceptual approach is clearly evolved from escapism and nostalgic longing. Now adorning the Suburban ‘Sad Boy’ title, Dillon now channels a defiant, rebellious spirit, injecting listeners with a complex dose of euphoric resilience that BEDFORD & BOWERY described perfectly as “pulsing with a yearning to look backward.”
"With his debut EP Sad Magic, rising pop singer Gregory Dillon proves why he deserves your attention. A dance-pop confessional from start to finish, Sad Magic sees Dillon embracing the sad boy energy to tell the story of a depressed-yet-hopeful adolescence. If the EP doesn't have you dancing, chances are you'll be crying."
- BILLBOARD
“No matter how you slice it, the '80s never ended, dreamy synthpop reigns supreme, and love (and its addictive qualities) is always in the air on queer pop singer Gregory Dillon's "Love Again," whose husky baritone is like a cross between Joy Division's Ian Curtis and Depeche Mode's Martin Gore...It's springtime, so the arrival of "Love Again," after a cold, brittle winter, is a welcome, hopeful gleam of sunlight.”
- PAPER MAGAZINE
“This glittering slice of dark pop will not only have you dancing in your seat but will also inspire you to break out the Ouija board.”
- MTV News (on “lovely”)
