Proud to announce my first release track “Half Step” starting with a softly melodic intro to groovy techy sounds that rapture you one after the other.

Half Step

Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Fender Bass, Lead and Backing Vocals.

I Lead the band from the back. That's what I do.

Until I come out front. Then it's fireworks.

Arranger: Chorus & String Arrangements, Back Beats, Drums & Percussion

I'm a trap player, locked in with the drummer. That's were I live. 

In tandem with the drummer; following his moves, and him following mine. 

Always with the trap. In, on and around the trap. Yeah. 

i set up on the drummer's left, so we face each other when he's playing on his high-hat (sock cymbal).  

In synch with the drummer and his hi-hat. Playing "on the hat."

Dilly is a DJ and producer from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. His love for music began with hip-hop, but it wasn't until he started DJing and producing in 2018 that he found his true calling in the world of trance and melodic techno. Since then, Dilly has been making waves in the music scene with his unique sound and style. His dedication and hard work have earned him notable achievements and collaborations.

 What inspired him to start creating music was the desire to connect with others on a deeper level to provide a source of comfort and healing. I believe that music has the power to transcend language and cultural barriers and bring people together in a way that nothing else can.
