Originally from Harrisburg, PA, Taylor's musical journey began at the age of six, seated at a small Yamaha keyboard. While most kids were outside playing, Taylor was engrossed in the works of Chopin and Beethoven, composing symphonies in his mind and conducting imaginary orchestras from the ottoman chair in his childhood home. This early passion led him to perform classically at prestigious venues like The Whitaker Center, The Forum Auditorium, universities across the northeast, and the Eastman Conservatory.

As his musical tastes expanded, so did his rebellion. Discovering the timeless sounds of The Beatles and Billy Joel sparked a new creative chapter, blending classical sensibilities with the energy of rock and the vulnerability of songwriting. Taylor taught himself multiple instruments, from guitar and drums to violin and bass, driven by a relentless curiosity for sound and composition. His home studio became the laboratory where fleeting ideas evolved into symphonic productions.

After earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance from Temple University, Taylor relocated to Jersey City, performing regularly around the NYC area. His compositions have also branched into the corporate world, while his solo albums have found homes on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon.

In his latest album, "A New Sunrise," Taylor draws on the tension between struggle and renewal, blending introspective piano rock with lush orchestrations that echo his classical background. The album speaks to overcoming challenges and looking ahead with optimism, a theme that feels particularly poignant in today’s world.
