Dylan Reynolds' Musical Battle with Cancer: The FADER Presents 'Just Learning It Somehow'

You might not be able to control what happens to you but you can do your best to control how you react to outside forces. Singer and songwriter Dylan Reynolds couldn't have acted more brilliantly under that mantra since last year. Diagnosed with lymphoma on January 29, 2018, Dylan went through a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions but finally landed on a newfound drive to keep creating music and make the best of what potentially would have been his final days.

This new FADER mini-doc Just Learning It Somehow covers Dylan's musical childhood up through his battle against lymphoma. But there are reoccurring themes that go beyond that challenge — specifically his love for music, which became a focus after a concussion while playing football. Even after making a full-time switch to music, he spent two to three years just writing without recording much new material. He further explained over the phone, "I was finding myself under the influence of other creative people around me. I focused more on what I wanted to say as a songwriter."
