Brittany Taylor
A San Diego Native with her earliest memories being singing with her mom at bath time and recording it on the tape player. Taylor grew up in church, she would sing in the choir and in the different holiday programs as a kid. She studied film and musical theatre in college. Her musical influences glean from Gospel, R&B, Neo-Soul, Jazz & Funk sounds. She has written and released music that is available on all streaming platforms. Specializing in spreading love and joy in a world full of songs about tragedy and bad relationships, she aims to spread love. I feel as though sometimes the good is overshadowed by the bad in life, but as a woman of faith, hope is always at my core. Taylor believes that authenticity will take you places similarities cannot.
