Hailed by the New York Times for his “killer scat singing,”
Dylan Pramuk has performed at many of NYC’s finest jazz venues, including Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Jazz Standard, Zinc Bar, Joe’s Pub, the Blue Note, and Birdland. Dylan has toured nationwide and across Europe as a founding member, a principal arranger, and the baritone voice of the Royal Bopsters, the award-winning jazz vocal quartet featuring singers Amy London, Pete McGuinness, and Jeanne O’Connor, which was selected #1 Vocal Group in JazzTimes’ 2020 Expanded Critics’ Poll.
The group’s recordings, The Royal Bopsters Project (2015) and Party of Four (2020), both featuring the late Holli Ross on alto, were released on Motéma Music to international acclaim. The Royal Bopsters Project, with Darmon Meader in the tenor chair, features jazz legends Jon Hendricks, Annie Ross, Bob Dorough, Sheila Jordan, and Mark Murphy, and garnered 4 1/2 stars in DownBeat Magazine. Party of Four, awarded 4 stars in both Jazzwise and DownBeat, again features Jordon and Dorough, as well as the renowned bassist Christian McBride.
Dylan is also a soloist and bandleader in his own right, and has performed in such other projects as the award-winning a cappella quintet West Side 5; Lee Tomboulian’s Ana Choired Taste; Miho Hazama’s A Little Jazz Mass; Billy Harper's Voices; Beat Kaestli’s Vocal Summit; Anne Phillips’ Jazz Nativity; and Max Pollak’s RumbaTap.
As an educator, Dylan has taught at New York University, The New School, The City College of New York, Montclair State University, and Jazz House Kids. In addition to private instruction, Dylan also teaches his original course in vocal improvisation entitled Hearing & Singing the Changes.
