About Me

Taylor King began to learn the piano at an early age and instantly it could be seen that he had musical talent. After giving up the piano he moved onto guitar after receiving an acoustic as a gift. His musical talents developed even further but after losing interest, he turned back to piano. This time he dedicated himself to the piano but soon lost interest once again. Many years passed where he had no involvement with music. He spent these years finding out who he was, where he stands and who he could be. At the age of 12, he began to write basic lyrics and soon after picked up his old acoustic. He began to teach himself from scratch, eventually writing music for his written lyrics. He also picked up the drums along the way and soon was creating real, quality drum tracks for his music. He developed with each passing day and soon realized that this is who he is... a musician. Dedicated to his work, he spent day after day practicing his guitar, vocals and drums. Soon enough, he began to write decent material. He developed with each new song composed and soon enough had quality music. At this stage he was ready to share his music with the world, knowing that this is who he is...Taylor King is a one piece rock band that captures the world and translates it into musical compositions. Taylor King has his own style but influences like Jeff Buckley, Gomez and Radiohead come through in his music. Taylor King's songs have meaning that comes from somewhere inside. They are unknown meanings, ones that are always there but just wait until the right moment to come out.COMMENT ON Taylor King's SONGS AT www.triplejunearthed.com.
