Drawn To The Sky

Dustin Gill (born November 2nd, 1994), known by his artist name Drawn To The Sky, is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer. Growing up listening to punk, hip-hop and 80s hair metal - Dustin used music as a way to cope with the loneliness of being an only child in rural Minnesota. Between separated parents and living on a farm, Dustin spent the vast majority of his childhood entertaining himself by learning to play the guitar and writing his own songs. After moving to Los Angeles in 2018 to pursue a career in music, his artist project ‘Drawn To The Sky’ was born. While living off pennies, Dustin started recording music inside of a beat-up minivan in random parking lots. Everything changed in 2019, when in collaboration with Braden Barrie of SayWeCanFly, he released his single “Demons” - which quickly gained over 1 million streams on Spotify. Following additional collaboration with Epitaph Records’ artist LiL Lotus - he has released many other successful singles including “Dear Rose, I’m Haunted” - which was recently featured on the Spotify editorial playlist ‘Punk Unplugged’ alongside artists such as Avril Lavigne, Pierce The Veil, and Falling In Reverse. Since releasing his debut EP in 2018 under the artist name "Drawn To The Sky," his music has amassed over 12 million streams online.
