Rob Taylor's Bio

My goal as a writer and an artist is to help people emotionally own my song in the 3 minutes and forty seconds," explains East Coast singer/songwriter, Rob Taylor. This goal has never been more realized than with Taylor's 5th studio offering, "Come Down Never", which is the follow-up to his successful full-length album, "Sun in a Box".

With roots planted deep in 80's rock, Taylor began writing his first songs a few years before the masses traded their tight black jeans in for flannels. He spent his high school youth obsessed with learning to play as many instruments as he could get his hands on. It was in his heavy metal band "Safe Haven" that he was first able to gain a working knowledge of song structure, studio recording, & live performance.

As the 90s progressed, so did Taylor's musical tastes & he found that the stories he felt compelled to tell sounded most sincere when paired with a lighter, more acoustic blend of pop & rock. This was the approach he committed to when Taylor wrote & recorded his first solo effort "Population 1" (1994) at age 18. He would hone his style & watch it healthily mature through subsequent albums, "Sleepless Lullabies" (1997) & "Sucker" (2001).

With his clever, hook-filled alt-rock EP, "Sucker", Taylor was first able to find national attention. He achieved recognition from several notable sources, including the Great American Song Contest's "Outstanding Achievement in Songwriting" award in (2002), & the "Best Solo Artist" award in (2003), presented by Unsyned Artist.

Taylor approaches the next steps in his career with the passion easily felt in his words & in his music.
