   About Justin Taylor
Born September 12 1982, in Cape Town South Africa - Justin came to settle in Johannesburg with his parents in 1989 where he sat inspired at the feet of his father who was also a musician, drummer and guitarist. He developed a passion for the acoustic guitar and tought himself to play from age 14 inspired by artists like the GooGooDolls, The Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer. He grew up playing in the odd concert at school until eventually after school having rummaged through some other options starting playing as a session musician for other bands. During that time he played for projects that opened for bands such as Fall Out Boy, Evanesance, Hooberstank, Staind, 3 Doors Down and a couple others. After some time his fellow musicians spurred him on to follow his dream of writing and performing his own material, which in July of 2007 he finally decided to do, starting with the recording of his 1st album.

Justin Taylor's debut album "From Tienie Street", recorded by friend and outstanding producer J. Oberholzer, is as raw and honest as they come. Recorded with a single acoustic guitar and a single vocal, the songs were written with the intention that they would be able to stand unassisted by production. A risky and daring thing to do, one might think, since many respectable music listeners crave the fullness of a band and the synergy and musicality which occurs between the various instruments. Some people, however, can hold a deep appreciation for a song in its most vulnerable and raw state, un-seduced by the temptation to become 'better'. The album deals primarily with one theme – or should I say one girl. Of the ten songs on this album eight of them deal specifically with Justin's story involving one particular girl. The songs have been placed almost exactly in the order that they were written and ease into each other like a story, refracting emotions and themes in a traceable progression. Now that's honesty. And it's beautiful

Now since the initial printing of "From Tienie Street," Justin caught the interest of international indie label Candyrat Records which features artists such as Andy McKee and Matthew Santos. He signed an album deal with them in early 2008 and went over from South Africa to the States to record some live video performances to promote the album. Since then those songs have received some 80,000 views. His myspace page has since received a little more love and attention and he recently won 1st place in the Folk Category of the West Coast Songwriters' Competition this year also gaining radio play on 11 Stations in the last 2 months. As Justin is now in the process of immigration, he hopes to break into the American music industry with his stunning new album.
