It is for that reason we are bringing you more great news regarding this very special young singer, songwriter, and astonishing young performer.

Much like the great songwriters that have inspired him, Dalton Cyr is inseparable from music, spending most of his time studying music and writing for his upcoming second album.

Having released two singles which will appear on this album, Dalton released his third single, “Nothing Could Be Better” on May 1st.  [button_round color=”blue” url=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/nothing-could-be-better-single/id866872479″] GET IT NOW ON iTUNES ! [/button_round]  A great summer song that seamlessly merges pop hooks with a reggae back-beat, you can’t help but be in a good mood after listening to it. And you can’t help but be excited about what he’ll release next after hearing his first three songs, which all could easily hold their own against some of the best songs written this year.

Dalton heads back into the recording studio in Nashville at the end of May to record several more songs for this album and is excited to be back in the studio with Bobby Amaru who produced songs from his first album, “I’ll Be There.”

Dalton says,

“It’s been a while since I worked with Bobby and I’ve grown so much as a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist since then. We had magic when we worked together before, I can only imagine what it will be like now. Bobby is a really talented guy and he’s only gotten better too.”

In February, Dalton took the stage at Michelle Clark’s Sunset Sessions, a conference which includes performances from both new musical talent and established acts in front of radio programmers, music supervisors, artists’ managers, and major and independent record labels.

Having recently attended The Prodigy Camp just outside Seattle, Washington, Dalton Cyr was chosen as one of the most promising songwriters in the world.
