Big Machine RecordsRascal Flatts bass player Jay DeMarcus‘s son, Dylan, will turn three next month, but the boy is already “eaten alive with music.” Dylan loves hanging out at Jay’s home studio and is already playing drums and guitar. He’s also a big Rascal Flatts fan.
Jay says, “The first thing he wants me to do when I get home [from the road] is sing ‘Life Is a Highway’ and ‘Rewind’ and ‘Riot,’ again, to him in the crib. And I’m thrilled to do it, because I can tell it’s in his DNA, and he’s just consumed with it.”
Fostering Dylan’s love for music is very important for Jay, who was also obsessed with music as a kid.
“I was consumed with music,” Jay says, “and I wished my father would have taken a little more time to notice that I was so into it when I was that age.”
