“Country Music’s Next Rising Star” (Billboard) Dylan Schneider today releases his latest anthemic smash with “Bad Decisions.” Written by the “Artist to Watch” (Amazon Music, Pandora, Taste of Country) with Gabe Foust and Jacob Hackworth, the seductive new track - produced by Lalo Guzman - will no doubt be his next viral sensation. Seduced by a magnetic connection with an ex, a couple can’t help but give into temptation. Listen now below.
“’Bad Decisions’ is a song I’ve been excited about since the day we wrote it," says Schneider. "It’s about always falling back into that on-and-off cycle with that same someone you know you should just let go. I feel like we’ve all been there before, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
Making his debut performance at Stagecoach later this year, Schneider is already bringing the heat in 2024. Currently opening for Nate Smith on his 2024 World On Fire Tour, his viral hit “Ain’t Missin’ You” has racked in over 124M TikTok views, 128k user-generated TikTok videos and 39M on-demand streams.
Wrapping 2023 on a high opening for Kane Brown, Tyler Hubbard and Scotty McCreery, the BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records artist released his most personal song to date with the autobiographical “Daddy Drinks Whiskey.” Not afraid of honest storytelling and the vulnerability that comes along with it, the song details the struggle of a loved one’s alcoholism.
With even more new music on the way that highlights his “more mature sound” (American Songwriter), Schneider continues to “expand the bounds of his artistry” and “build upon his foundational country roots with intentionality” (American Songwriter), ultimately making “…music that his fans fall in love with, without losing the authenticity that he has had all along” (Country Swag).
An electrifying performer who’s been recruited by some of country music’s biggest superstars such as Florida Georgia Line, Morgan Wallen, Dan + Shay and more, the Top 5 hit songwriter (Dustin Lynch’s “Momma’s House”) has gained over 500,000 social followers in just a few months, scored two RIAA-certified Gold records, accumulated over 1.2M social media followers and banked an upwards of 318M on-demand streams (and counting).
