Dylan was born on December 9, 1969, in New York City to folk singer Bob Dylan (né Robert Zimmerman) and model Sara Lownds (née Shirley Noznisky). His parents are both of Jewish descent. Dylan spent the earliest years of his life in Greenwich Village. Around the age of three, he moved with his family to the Los Angeles area. Growing up, he listened to English rock records from his older brothers' record collection, including the Clash, the Jam, and Buzzcocks. Dylan was particularly impressed with the Clash, who inspired him to begin playing music himself.
Beginning in 2006, Dylan began playing shows without The Wallflowers, though he did tour with the band on numerous occasions between 2007 and 2009. In May and June 2006, Dylan toured with former Wallflowers producer T Bone Burnett, performing solo acoustic opening sets. In fall of that year, Dylan's song "Here Comes Now" was featured as the theme song for an ABC drama, Six Degrees. Also in the fall of 2006, it was announced that Dylan had signed a solo recording contract with Columbia Records.
