Life and career
After begging his parents for an agent at the age of 6, he began landing numerous commercials in TV & radio, as well as print. Soon, this transitioned over into supporting TV movie & series roles, including Jimmy Osmond in the ABC biopic Inside the Osmonds, & Eliott in PAX TV's Doc, a series starring Billy Ray Cyrus 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 pantomime 'Snow White & The Group Of Seven', acting and singing alongside with Canadian Idols including Ryan Malcolm & Billy Klippert, and Glass Tiger frontman Alan Frew.
Once a finalist on Canadian Idol, Taylor has performed 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', who, although only 24 as of this summary, already has a vast resume. Taylor is co-owner/operator of Silverthorn Studios, a professional recording facility, one half of the acclaimed duo Taylor & Bryn (who won the Landmark Events Showcase Competition out of hundreds of performers, winning prizes valued at over $20,000), co-creator/manager of the acclaimed songwriting workshop The Song Creation Workshop, contributor to the workshop's best-selling book The Song Creation Formula.
Taylor's voice can be heard around the world in a variety of television properties, such as the lead character in the self-titled series Fangbone! (Disney XD), which after a multi-award-winning pilot episode, will begin airing worldwide in 2016, and also features a theme song written by Taylor and performed by Peter Driemanis of Juno-winning group July Talk. Taylor can also be heard as Luke Stanley in YTV's The Stanley Dynamic (Nelvana/Amaze), filming its second season as of early 2016,[1] a series that requires Taylor on-set four to five days a week to bring the animated character to life through his body as well as his voice. Taylor has played a lead character in more than five television properties, others including Luis in The Future Is Wild (Discovery Kids), Yuki in Beyblade: Metal Fury (Cartoon Network), and Jonas in Bob! The Slob (Teletoon), in addition to many supporting roles.
