    DEK of Hearts

    We wanna hear from you! Send us a message here :) DEK of Hearts is a powerhouse country-pop trio comprised of Dylan John, Emily Clapp, and Kollin Bailey. With their band name originating from the first letter of each member’s first name—Dylan, Emily, Kollin—DEK of Hearts blends country, pop, and bluegrass influences with soaring three-part harmonies and undeniable onstage chemistry. Having met while attending Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville and officially establishing themselves as a trio upon graduating in April 2024, their musical foundation began in worship music before expanding to churches, festivals, theaters, and premier venues across the country. Featured on Season 28 of NBC’s The Voice, the trio earned a rare 4-chair turn that famously put Reba McEntire on the floor. Later crowned the official Mic Drop Winner during the Knockout Round, they advanced to the Top 3 finalists of the season, culminating in a Grand Finale appearance in the Rose Parade before more than 40 million television viewers worldwide. Their journey has resonated widely, amassing more than 26 million views across social media and earning national features in People Magazine, American Songwriter, EntertainmentNOW, and NBC’s Today Show. The trio was named a winner of the 2025 Tennessee Songwriters Week competition, earning an exclusive showcase at the iconic Bluebird Cafe. In May 2026, DEK of Hearts made their Grand Ole Opry debut, marking another milestone in their rapidly growing career. Continuing to build momentum on the road, DEK of Hearts has shared stages with artists including Carly Pearce, Rhonda Vincent, and Niko Moon across the United States and Canada. With compelling harmonies, dynamic performances, and heartfelt storytelling, DEK of Hearts continues to connect deeply with audiences while redefining the modern country-pop trio. Support the show
