About Me

Hi! I’m Dallyn Vail Bayles (pronounced DAL-in vale BAY-liss). I’m a performer and I love what I do. I feel incredibly fortunate to have performed all around the country and in different parts of the world with some of the best talent on the planet. I’m also grateful for an amazing wife and five children who help keep me grounded and bring greater depth to my artistry. I thrive on the process of creation, exploration, and collaboration in performance and storytelling. So, let’s start creating!

Height:  6' 2"

Voice:  Tenor / High Baritone

Eye Color:  Blue-Green

Hair Color:  Curly Brown

Location:  New York City, Utah, and wherever my work takes me.
