JONNY TAYLOR

The Fridge Magnet Philosopher...

About Me

I was born under a wandering star with a mic and a guitar. Since then I've been to playschool, little school, big school and UniI've spent the last 5 years or so playing my acoustic guitar whilst, rapping a bit, beat boxing and singing to an array of people in pubs, clubs, bars, big venues, little venues, coffee shops and the occasional old peoples home. After graduating in music at Leeds University, I moved back down to London to seek my fame and fortune.Wittington was right; London's streets certainly are not paved with gold and thus far plans of "fame and fortune" are NOT going so well. HOWEVER , I stumbled across a couple of people who pointed me in the direction of ALL OUT MUSIC. A NEW plan was hatched - a band was created and for your audible pleasure I am pleased to introduce my wonderful live band!So, join in to see what happens to Jonny Taylor and his band of accomplished and wonderful music men in their antics on the road to becoming the best thing since sliced bread, (apparently that was something back in the day) although, probably not as good as electricity.... or light...On his return to London Jonny was approached by James D Bell – Owner and Producer of All Out Music London. Bell has worked side by side with Jonny to help develop and produce his album – Red Handed & other such tales – which will be available on all good online distributors soon! "The fridge magnet philosopher'... Jamie T shaped acoustic ska hip hop pop crossover thru the dual prisms of Doherty and Skinner. Plenty of charm... street poetry schtick with refs to asbos and the like make this a contemporary required text innit."
