It wasn’t until he was four that Taylor talked – he was humming music instead. By the age of five, he was an Elvis impersonator and was begging his parents for an acting agent. Now 25, Taylor is a professional voice actor, musician, and co-founder/operator of the professional recording studio ‘Silverthorn Studios’. Once a finalist on Canadian Idol, Taylor has performed music across Ontario & writes, produces and performs songs that garner millions of views for Youtube’s ‘Super Planet Dolan’. Taylor also wrote the music & lyrics for ‘The Beaver Den: A New Canadian Musical’, has written for CBC, and hit artists including Danny Fernandes & Peter Driemanis (of July Talk), along with writing the official theme song for two upcoming animated series, as well as Disney XD’s ‘Fangbone!’ A section contributor to the Amazon #1 best-selling book ‘The Song Creation Formula’, Taylor has co-lead the acclaimed ‘Song Creation Workshop’ with Signe Miranda, and is half the duo Taylor & Bryn. |

For the popular live action sitcom ‘The Stanley Dynamic’ (YTV), Taylor plays the lead character of Luke Stanley, who, is a normal teenager, except for the fact that he’s a cartoon. In order to seamlessly have the cartoon of Luke interacting with live action characters & environments, Taylor goes through the same rehearsal & filming process as all the other cast members.
Taylor also has many on-screen commercial & film credits from his childhood/teenage years, including playing Jimmy Osmond in the ABC biopic ‘Inside The Osmonds’, & Eliott in PAX TV’s ‘Doc’ starring Billy Ray Cyrus, a series for which Taylor was nominated for a Young Actor’s Award for ‘Best Performance In A Supporting Role’. Taylor also played ‘Cinco’, in the Ross Petty musical pantomime ‘Snow White & The Group Of Seven’ along with rock royalty such as Alan Frew of Glass Tiger, and can even be heard in a small vocal cameo in the underground movie classic ‘Hedwig & The Angry Inch’ (Newline Cinema).

Taylor & Bryn have performed regular shows across Ontario, such as at Freetimes Café, Sound Academy, The Mod Club, as well as Central Phi in Montreal. A contributor to the best-selling book The Song Creation Formula, Taylor has co-lead the acclaimed ‘Song Creation Workshop’ and ‘Song Creation Series’ with Signe Miranda.
