Matching “the swagger of a seasoned vet with the raw energy of someone who’s still got something to prove” (Concert Addicts), Dylan Schneider - named an “Artist to Watch” by Pandora, Amazon Music, MusicRow, Taste of Country and more - today impacts country radio with his tantalizingly catchy single “Better Than You Left Me” via Wheelhouse Records. Securing 38 first-week stations, “Country Music’s Next Rising Star” (Billboard) claims one of this week’s most-added accolades.
The brazen “Better Than You Left Me” puts the good in goodbye, as the highly infectious, soulful and vibe-inducing single lets an ex know he isn’t looking back. Produced by Zach Abend and written by Schneider, Lalo Guzman, Michael Tyler and Brett Tyler - the bright, easy-listening groove was featured on the rising star’s debut album, PUZZLED, that released late last year to critical acclaim.
Scoring huge opening slots on some of country music’s biggest tours in 2024 including Nate Smith’s “World On Fire” Tour, Kane Brown’s “In The Air” Tour, Luke Bryan’s “Mind of a Country Boy” Tour and Mitchell Tenpenny’s “Woke Up In A Dream” Tour - Schneider closed out his best year yet with his own 24-date headlining “Bad Decisions” Tour that sold-out in almost every city.
With no signs of slowing down and “a fanbase with a voracious appetite, Schneider’s star will only continue to rise” (Music Row), as the tenacious road warrior is gearing up for an even better 2025.

About Dylan Schneider:
One of Music Row’s most exciting new talents, with all the elements of a true rising star, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville’s Dylan Schneider has grown a massive fanbase and critical acclaim, fusing Midwestern country grit with the energy of rock and modern pop. After building an engaged following on social media, Schneider arrived in Nashville at just 16 years old, releasing multiple building-block EPs and honing his craft on tour with Florida Georgia Line, Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan, Kane Brown, Nate Smith, Mitchell Tenpenny and more. Earning “Artist to Watch” accolades from Pandora, Amazon Music and others, the 24 year old now boasts over 2 million social media followers and 428+ million on-demand career streams, with two RIAA-certified Gold records and a Top 5 hit as a songwriter (Dustin Lynch’s “Momma’s House”). Hailed by MusicRow as a “Next Big Thing,” Schneider released his long-awaited debut album Puzzled in late 2024. With 16 songs, all co-written or solely written by Schneider such as the autobiographical title track, the project also features fan-favorite anthems like the irresistible “Carhartt,” viral smashes “Bad Decisions” and “Ain’t Missin’ You” and his tantalizingly catchy radio single “Better Than You Left Me,” climbing the charts now. Looking ahead, the rising star continues to make energy in his live show an equal partner to his deeply personal tales of growth and getting by.
