At the age of 16, Taylor received his first major music placement when he produced music for a Burger King commercial. Two years later, at 18, he produced music for a McDonald’s commercial, marking the beginning of his professional career in commercial and entertainment music production.

MUSIC INDUSTRY CAREER - Taylor was introduced to the Los Angeles music industry through his manager, George Robertson, who had professional ties to Universal Music Group and Interscope Records. Through these early industry connections, Taylor gained access to studio environments and opportunities that allowed him to work alongside established producers, artists, and executives.

Throughout his career, Taylor worked with and contributed to projects involving Kanye West, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Akon, and several other prominent figures in hip hop and popular music. Much of his work took place behind the scenes, where he developed a reputation for creative production, artist collaboration, and studio development.

Taylor spent more than 15 years working throughout the Los Angeles music industry, contributing to recording sessions, creative development, production work, and artist collaborations across multiple genres and commercial projects.

PERSONAL CHALLENGES & TRANSITION - A major turning point in Taylor’s life and career came following the death of his cousin, whose influence had originally inspired him to pursue music. The loss deeply affected Taylor and caused him to reconsider his direction within the music industry.

Ironically, many of Taylor’s largest professional opportunities arrived shortly after this period of personal tragedy. During this time, he accepted opportunities to work behind the scenes with several established music producers, further expanding his experience within the entertainment industry. Despite his growing success, the emotional impact of losing his cousin eventually led him to shift his focus away from traditional industry pursuits and toward community-driven creative work.
