Byron Keith Taylor riding wave of latest album
Los Angeles, CA – “Dreamwalk” capturing the imaginations of listeners everywhere. Byron Keith Taylor’s latest release of self-written, soulful Pop/Adult Contemporary songs are alive with melody, thriving with passion and spirit, boast a message of love and sincerity and sparkle with the distinctive musical personality that drives Taylor’s songwriting.
“With All of My Heart,” the album’s lead single, is a deeply personal song that nonetheless – and perhaps because of that – resonates with emotional vibrations with which any listener can connect. As is his wont, Taylor touches heartstrings we all share in common, but does so in a way all his own. Rich melodicism and textured instrumentation form the bed of beautiful music over which his signature vocals can work their magic.
“It’s something I actually wrote for a woman I met a long time ago …” says Taylor. “The song is a true story.” His willingness to delve into his own real emotions – conjured from real life – is a source of the emotive power of his music. He bares his heart with vulnerability born from strength.
Taylor is a self-produced artist whose talents enable him to play more than a dozen different musical instruments. He began singing at the age of three and is noted for possessing perfect pitch.
His songwriting endeavors began at 12 and during his teenage years, he perfected his craft and even sang lead for his own Pop group before venturing into solo territory. “It was at this time I when I began to see my individuality as an artist grow by working with Russian maestro Misha Shufutinsky, a legendary artist/producer in his country, and playing with jazz trumpeter Terumasa Hino, a well-known artist based in Japan.”
His debut album, “Castle of Dreams,” was released in 2000. His new album, “Dreamwalk,” features the work of guest violinist Lorenza Ponce, who has played with Sheryl Crow and Bon Jovi. The album took four years to complete; it was produced and arranged by Taylor, who performed all the singing and the bulk of the instruments.
The near future for this praised-in-the-press and critically lauded artist includes a bevy of shows at a variety of venues. He is currently working with A&R Select, the premier A&R firm based out of Los Angeles, CA.
