Billon Dailey is the newest incarnation from singer-songwriter, Dylan Bailey. It took years to come up with such a deeply, profound artist name.
In 2020 Dylan had been working at a church, and was heavily involved. His love for music had always been a big part of his life, but the pressure of writing Christian music and keeping up that appearance of perfection, was snuffing out the creative flame. As the pandemic happened, and he watched his mentor get fired, he came to the realization that life is too short to waste on what you don’t love. Near the end of the year he had spiritual journeys and experiences that helped him reconsider and reflect on his life’s ultimate direction. Punch Me in the Face was born out of the urge to be himself. To write how he thought. It was a way to explore what made him who he is.
2021 had Dylan writing, recording, producing, mixing and mastering an entire album by himself–in a room that was far too small. From start to finish you can hear the earnest honesty in his writing. The start of the album is an explosion of sound that kicks off the beginning of an intense journey. As the album progresses, we go from anxiety, to existential crises, and ultimately landing on hope as the ending track, “Minutes We Don’t See” plays out.
Punch Me in the Face is an album filled with love that wrestles with what it feels like to be confined and afraid to speak out.
