Steve Taylor

I have been singing since I was 15, when I sang back-up vocals in a friends band in South Wales. I went on to front my own band singing covers and playing rhythm Guitar, touring the circuit from Wales to the North East. I later went solo and toured throughout Scandinavia playing up to 5 hours a night, six nights a week mainly singing covers but over time showcasing my own material.I got my first writing assignment when I was asked to write a track for a pilot TV show called 'Situations Vacant' which aired in the South West of England. I followed that with a musical 'Half Moon Street' and two children's shows, one of which played in Paignton, Devon for a summer season.In 1997 I won the Studiomaster songwriter of the year competition for my demo 'Hello World' which received press and radio coverage. I also received £1000 in prize money. The song was recorded in Torquay and engineered by Phil Curtis, former Bass player with Kikki Dee (Don't go breaking my heart with Elton John). I was featured on Gemini FM, with an interview and airplay of three of my songs. I moved to London and started an intense period of writing. Fifteen new songs were demoed and in 2001 I started recording my first album in Cornwall. The album 'Hello World' features 13 original songs and was co-produced by Dave Lucas & Jess Carter formally of Sawmills studio (Supergrass, Reef).In 2006 I signed a publishing deal with ACM Records in New York and with their help I'm gaining valuable experience and exposure selling my music.'HELLO WORLD' IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD AT APPLE iTUNES.
