Taylor has been playing music since the age of eight when his grandmother taught him the basics of piano. He eventually joined the percussion section in the 6th grade and has been obsessed with drums and percussion ever since. Taylor is mostly self taught on the drums after coming home each day from school and playing through the songs he listened to during the day.

After high school, Taylor pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Contemporary Musicianship from Middle Georgia State University, studying under Miguel Castro. During this time, Taylor was teaching full-time as a middle school and high school percussion director, was playing in a few local bands, and recording himself and others in the studio he and his friend built inside a storage unit.

Taylor moved to Fort Collins in 2022 to pursue his Master’s Degree in Percussion Performance at Colorado State University, graduating in the Spring of 2024. He currently resides in Fort Collins and performs and teaches lessons all around the Northern Colorado area.
