MUSIC

This gallery highlights some of the artists and industry figures Dame Taylor has collaborated with throughout his career.

While many of these projects went undocumented under his own name, each moment represents a chapter in his journey, years of learning, contributing, and shaping music behind the scenes. These relationships and experiences built the foundation for his work today as a mentor and consultant, offering students and artists an insider’s perspective on what it truly takes to navigate the music industry.

AFTER MUSIC

My work after music reflects the systems, programs, and partnerships built alongside my creative career.

From education and mentorship to brand collaboration, investment strategy, operations, and real estate, much of my work happened behind the scenes and outside of public credit. Each initiative represents years spent learning how opportunities are created, sustained, and shared. These experiences now inform my work as a builder, mentor & consultant. Over the past 10 years, I’ve provided students, music creatives, and partners with a grounded understanding of how creative ecosystems function beyond the spotlight.
