Artist details…...

Lindsay Taylor can sum herself up in one word : passionate. Inspired, simply, by the air we breathe and by human endurance, Lindsay Taylor may be young in years but she possesses what others have come to construe as an "old soul." This characteristic has worked for and against her favor but for the most part, she explains, with a wink of the eye, "It's a blessing because it makes for good songwriting." Born on Christmas morning, she spent her younger years singing tracks off Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation album, on her brother's Walkman, to choreographing dance routines for her classmates to belting gospel on Sunday mornings. Anything but naive, this multi-faceted, multi-talented performer, originally from Kansas City (a jazz hub), has been influenced by an amplitude of sounds from Motown to Classic Rock to her true calling, Soul. She insists that, "Soul is audible, tangible, and visible." Growing up in Kansas City, it was viewed as somewhat impractical to dream of becoming a singer, so Lindsay focused her attention on other aesthetics such as her designing and writing talent. Never being the type to follow the crowd, instead of attending University, she packed her bags one month after graduating high school and drove halfway across America to reside in a city that she now gracefully calls home, Los Angeles. Lindsay Taylor is currently working on the development of her own, independent music publishing company, songwriting, and releasing an EP on April 10, 2010.

What songs inspired you to become a musician/s…...

Oh goodness! What songs did NOT inspire me to become a musician is the better question. To name a few : "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, anything by young Michael Jackson, the entire Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation, "Hero" by Mariah Carey...as you can see I was a sucker for the power ballads!
