Written, recorded, produced, and mixed by Gossett himself in his bedroom, No Better Time showcases the breadth of the Austin native’s talents.
The EP includes the viral single “Coal,” which has gathered over 50 million streams to date. It recently climbed to No. 35 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs Chart and No. 24 on Billboard‘s Country Digital Song Sales Chart, as well as cracked the Top 5 on Spotify’s Global and US Viral 50 Charts and peaked at No. 14 on the iTunes Country Chart and No. 36 on the All-Genres Chart shortly after its release.
No Better Time, which debuted at No. 7 on Billboard‘s Heatseekers Albums Chart, also features fan favorites “Beneath Oak Trees” and “Flip A Coin.” Gossett recently announced his signing to Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records, in partnership with Range Media Partners — read his signing announcement feature with Billboard here.
Growing up in Austin, Dylan Gossett first picked up a guitar in middle school, teaching himself via YouTube and thanks to tips from his big brother.
In between listening to classics from Alan Jackson, George Strait, Journey, The Eagles, Scorpions, and Boston with his family, he immersed himself in the records by Turnpike Troubadours, Flatland Cavalry, and Cody Johnson.
Throughout his college years at Texas A&M University, he never stopped playing and singing. Passionate about Formula 1, Dylan took a job with Circuit of the Americas.
In spring 2023, he began experimenting with posting his music online.
He shared a rendition of The Lumineers’ “Ophelia” and eventually wound up gaining traction with a Flatland Cavalry cover. As summertime rolled around, he caught fire with his independent debut single “To Be Free.”
No doubt fueled by the “weed and gasoline” line, it exploded on TikTok and amassed nearly six million Spotify streams to date. However, “Coal” catalyzed his breakthrough.
“A formidable, heart-on-his-sleeve singer-songwriter with immense potential”
BILLBOARD
“One of the future stars of country and Americana”
HOLLER COUNTRY
“His music career is exciting to watch out for.”
COUNTRY CENTRAL
“One of the most exciting new voices in the genre”
COUNTRY CHORD
“Dylan Gossett is raw, but there’s no denying he’s real, and we’ll all be watching his nascent career continue to take off.”

ABOUT DYLAN GOSSETT
Dylan Gossett’s songs instantly leave an imprint.
The Austin, Texas-born singer and songwriter makes a mark with dusty instrumentation, gravelly vocal delivery, and emotionally vulnerable lyrics.
Right off the bat, lines like “They say pressure makes diamonds. How the hell am I still coal?” and “Smells like weed and gasoline” come to mind.
Guitar in hand and heart wide open, he writes every tune by himself and sings straight from the soul with no pretense and no filter.
