About Me

"Live your life with no Apologies"
Raw. Real. Tough. Inspiring. These words describe the refreshing look and sound of singer/songwriter/actor Ali Taylor.A Minneapolis native, Ali Taylor, 24, now makes her home in Los Angeles. Once inside her small, no-frills apartment, her passion and drive for music is unmistakable. Old wooden bookcases crammed with tattered and worn journals hold a lifetime of Ali's lyrics. Stacks of CDs carefully piled in a corner. Sheet music is strewn across a makeshift kitchen table. There is no denying that music is Ali's life focus.Ali's lyrics and music strike an invigorating balance between jagged, edgy rock and soulful, somber ballads. Her most recent songs include "Broken," "Til My Dying Day" and "Adrenaline." Each song embodies a gritty, honest take on life and relationships. You won't find sugar-coated, sentimental pop songs here.An entertainer at heart, Ali is no stranger to live performances. She has been showcased in several Los Angeles clubs: Key Club, Hollywood & Highland and Club Chiller.A multi-tasking talent, Ali Taylor has studied acting at the prestigious Beverly Hills Playhouse. Her independent film work includes starring in "Penelope," "Professionally Tested" and "The Dark Walker." While watching Ali in these differing portrayals, it is obvious that she has the range and ability to act in a wide spectrum of roles.Music is Ali's priority, though. "Music is my life," says Ali, "Acting is great, but only when it fit's in with my music career."
