Experiencing popular success on the East Coast in the 1980's & 90's, the real success story of William Taylor came along during the re-birth period of his career, when he surrendered to being born again. Growing up in a small southern town (Angier) in the triad area of North Carolina, getting his informal training from his musical family and in the gospel choir at his church, William has been humbled by God’s Grace and Mercy and inspired to become a servant.
Taylor says, "God’s Grace and Mercy, encouragement from family and friends and after twenty-five years of performing for audiences of all ages, has seasoned me for this time in my life." He has gone on to accomplish singing commercial jingles for Wizpro Productions that point to Radio One programming, Willie Mae McIver "A Musical Soul Food" /ABC Radio Network and the Russ Parr Morning Show. With his career beginning to take off he began contributing background vocals for artist like, Kim Yvette from the CD "Born Again Love Songs", Min. Norris Garner from the CD "He's Blessing Me", Min. John Butler from the CD "He Can Supply", Sonya Barry from the CD "Latter Rain", DeeJazz from the CD "A Musical Messenger" and James Grear & Co. During the production of these tracks and as a member of “The Collective”, he played a major role in a national gospel-recording project titled, “If You’re Gonna Worry Don’t Pray” with Denver A. Wright & The Collective featuring Tony Terry. On their first CD "If You're Gonna Worry Don't Pray" released in January 2000, Taylor contributes background vocals throughout the entire project. His voice is featured prominently on two songs from that CD: "Sanctified Soul" which he co-wrote and "I Want to Be Ready".
Working with the expressive movement styles and interpretations of award winning producers Denver A. Wright and Jimmy Brown, Taylor was blessed to realize his very own solo project title, Blessfully Yours.
Since the release of his new project he is being hailed as “The Sam Cooke of Today’s Gospel”. His wide range of musical tastes runs the gamut of reverential songs -- from worship and majestic ballads to smooth R&B rhythms, and contemporary grooves! Taylor is making a mark in the music industry with what has been described as a healing and soothing gift. This debut project contains songs that point to our relationship with Christ and mankind. William is ready to tackle the issues we all face, to bring a light of clarity and a slightly different perspective on our day-to-day existence. Using lyrics that have meaning and an inspirational message it will encourage you to hope again. After having his own struggle with faith and trusting in God, Taylor is qualified to bear witness. He was healed from Bells Palsy (Facial Paralysis) by the miraculous power of having faith and trusting God at His word. Taylor said, “After looking in the mirror at his affliction he began to talk to God and said, “ God if this is your will for me; I’m going to accept it now. I am going to surrender and allow you to bear my burdens for me”. And like Jesus left the tomb in three days, in three days the paralysis left my body. Praise God, I was healed! William’s prayer today is he hopes believing in the power of God will encourage you to have faith in your life. This testimony is evident in William’s spirit as he delivers his message in song. Still yet, God is exploiting another area of William Taylor’s ministry. He’s been cast as “Pastor Dual” in a gospel stage play title,"Strong Woman" written by playwright Vanessa Burgess and directed by James A. House. This year you can catch Taylor appearing in the hit gospel play Spare The Rod Spoil The Child written by Author and Executive Producer Mildred Summerville and Directed by James A. House.

Who I'd like to meet: The most profound acquaintance I have ever experienced was when I met Jesus Christ in 1997. Since then He has gone on to introduce me to many others whom I am proud to know. There are too many to mention but here is one example to share with you. Meeting, ministering and sharing my music in 2006 with Soldiers and their families was a humbling way for me to be used and be of service. There are many of us, who are in desperate need of encouragement, inspiration, hope and support today. I thank God for the opportunity and look forward to more meetings in the future...
Please make no mistake, no matter how big, small or what your name may be; when Jesus does the introductions, it is always someone I'd like to meet.
