Team StarKid Member Dylan Saunders Announces Debut Solo Album

Internet sensation Dylan Saunders proudly announces the release of his original debut solo studio album, Confluence, an original pop and soul collaboration. A founding company member of the new media and pop-culture juggernaut, StarKid Productions, Saunders' latest solo venture features original music by Tomek Miernowski, Theo Katzman, and Joey Dosik, among others, and is currently slated for a fall 2013 release.

Saunders and lead producer, Tomek Miernowski have launched a Kickstarter campaign to
alleviate costs associated with production, setting a goal of $30,000 for studio time, paying
musicians and songwriters, mixing and mastering, production, duplication and fulfillment.

Saunders rose to internet fame as an original member of the Chicago-based production

company StarKid Productions, whose original works have garnered over 146 million

YouTube views, and a devoted fan following of 307,000 online subscribers, 205,000

Facebook fans, and 128,000 Twitter followers worldwide. A StarKid veteran, Saunders has

appeared in seven of the company's original works.

As a vocalist, Saunders first invaded the internet in July 2009 with A Very Potter Musical - the fan-made parody that premiered on YouTube and immediately went viral. Filmed during live performances at the University of Michigan, the show was an instant hit with fans of the Harry Potter franchise and quickly garnered nearly 2 million views.

Confluence marks the debut solo music venture for Saunders, whose previous work as an
actor has been featured on regional stages throughout the United States (Chicago
Shakespeare Theatre, Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, American Conservatory Theatre, New
Leaf Theatre, Shakespeare Santa Cruz) and internationally in England and the Czech
Republic (National Theatre of London's Connections Festival and Apostrof Theatre Festival,
respectively).
