BIO
Dylan Hunter Chee Greene is an Asian American producer, instrumentalist, improvisor and composer from the Pacific and Atlantic ocean islands. His focus continues to span across a wide array of styles and roles within them. From producing revival Bachata in the Dominican Republic to composing electronic classical fusion in Beirut to mixing spiritual jazz in Berlin, Dylan was trained in Western classical, neo-classical percussion, and Ghanaian Ashanti Kete drumming from an early age. His career has been and continues to be blessed by collaboration musical elders and his personal mentors such as Shahzad Ismaily, Maryam Saleh, Elliot Cole, Maurice Louca, Isaac Hernandez, Kamilya Jubran, Dice, José Duluc, Ali Hout, Doug and Brad Balliet. He is a member of the 2025 Deutscher Jazz Preis award winning groups, Sonic Interventions and Sera Kalo’s Ex.ii. Currently, he performs and tours with artists such as Maurice Louca, Ebla, Danilo Timm, Lucy Liebe aka Turbobitch, Laiz & the New Love Experience, and Morena Leraba and lead residencies with Nyege Nyege’s own HHY & Kampala Unit and Arsenal Mikebe.
Greene got a start in NYC in the classical chamber music world, performing and recording with musicians such as Oracle Hysterical, A Far Cry Chamber Orchestra, SO Percussion, Contemporaneous, Anthony Roth Costanzo, Bessie winning choreographers, Rebecca Lazier and Christopher Williams, and MacArthur awardee, Matt Aucoin while working closely with organizations such as the Peabody award winning podcast, Radiolab, Music Beyond Measure, Decoda, and Onebeat. During these days of session work, chamber music, and opera, Dylan worked as a dance accompanist at Mark Morris Dance Center and completed artist in-residence fellowships with Bang On A Can in 2017, Onebeat in 2018, and Avaloch Farm Music Institute in 2019. He went on to be commissioned as a composer by Oyoun Kultur Neudeken in Berlin for an installation entitled Black Post Box, chamber music with Oracle Hysterical about Chinese immigration to America and Ming Dynasty navel exploration for the the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, and music for the critically acclaimed documentary Kash Kash, a film about the infamous Kash Hamam in Beirut, Lebanon. His music and scores for choreography have been heard at venues such as Alvin Ailey, the Detroit Institute of the Arts, MoCAD, and the Mark Morris Dance Center in NYC.
With a drive and desire to honor the ancestral lineage of rhythm, he has over the years drawn closer to sound as the medium itself and now spends a majority of time in the worlds of improvised music, Jazz, Electronic, and Arabic classical adjacent. In 2024, Dylan produced the underground jazz collective Sonic Interventions, debut vinyl entitled Do You Remember? released on Agogo records. He also produced Ishtirak released on Thawra records, both of which had him deeply involved in improvisation in conversation with archival memory, creative direction, engineering and mixing. In 2025, he co-produced Floyd Lavine’s EP Envision, released on Afrikan Tales and mixed Sera Kalo’s Ex.ii debut LP set for release with Unit Records.
