Making a phenomenal solo EP/Album! Fun Fun! :)
Already have major film placement selection prior even, to this new record release! Being told they put it on the film's (currently filming) timeline, so pushing to get it a lengthy exposure and career, and praying the contracts end up just as lengthy of course!
Very grateful for this inspiration and launching more tracks!
Work work work! :)
No shortcuts!
Hope you enjoy the workmanship and thank you for listening in.

Hi friends and visitors.
I wanted to take the time to share some insight on what I've been up to. Please remember; I have worked my body into the ground contracting nearly four thousand projects in the northwest Arizona territory. I have also worked multiple discs out of my neck and had unsuccessful surgery in 2002. I have severe and very painful spinal stenosis. I am extremely limited in my occupational ability now, as my neck/back/knees/shoulders and left elbow are torn to pieces.
I also broke a bone in my back last year, YEEHAW!.
Uh,this all kinda limits my EXPOSURE---touring/gigging etc ? BUT GOD IS GRACIOUS AND LENDS ME STRENGTH!
So, I am writing/recording and hopefully "selling" now, my "other" work I've been doing all these years on the side. ?
I have never asked for donations and I never will. "Pride" or "Integrity" you define it.
I have always returned hard earned services for monetary needs. That being said, the music you hear is not some wizard type behind a curtain throwing easily available, ready-made computer/machine insta-groove loops and samples onto a timeline like so many people toss together these days, and then maybe play an instrument and sing over the tracks. When you hear your typical favorite artist on radio/concerts etc, there is a chain of people involved (30 to 50 people) professionally networking and spending $30-$85 thousand dollars per album, with hundreds of thousands in studio production gear and the best musicians/vocalists a producer can buy-n-book for the sessions or concert! It darn well better sound phat! There's also lots of pitch/voice correction taking place too, but I won't mention any examples. Choke, cough (Taylor Swift) Wups!
When you hear a song from Taylor D Music, it is original. It is genuine! It is one person for the whole production;
Writing/arranging/charting/producing/engineering and playing any and or all of the following instruments:
Live Acoustic Drums (Trap Set)
Piano
Bass Guitar
Keyboards/Synth
Electric Rhythm Guitar
Electric Lead Guitar
Acoustic Guitar
Mandolin
Harmonica
Lead Vocals (NO PITCH CORRECTION)
Backing Vocals (NO PITCH CORRECTION) Also;
Various percussion and rhythm programming by Taylor D "if" enhancements are needed.
Not to mention the time taken in prayer, meditation and the writing/typing of lyrical messages that hold relevance in timeless era. So please consider this when/if you purchase TAYLOR D MUSIC/ANCILLARY ITEMS.
I pray one would not think this to be me boasting. It's meant to communicate that me be "WORKING!" ?
I have also self funded many Church plants/missions etc. including self funded Hurricane Katrina missions.
I wouldn't want you thinking I'm some greedy televangelist type. Again, "SELF FUNDED"
Now if you listen to Taylor D Music, please reflect on the different instrumentations hammered out, and please feel free to study the lyric, over and above the production. Drop in sometime and say howdy!
Heck, tell me I stink! Or, perhaps buy something and help me to provide and live modestly.
God Bless, and His best for, and to you all!
