Words: Sal Fasone<\/h5>\n
When Taylor<\/strong> got into music and started playing it out loud, little did he know he would end up \u00a0releasing his own music. Over the last year he puts out the delicately rousing \u2018Moving On<\/em>\u2019 and has been described as a \u2018powerful, promising talent\u2019 by Clash Magazine. <\/em>After picking up strong praise from a number of online tastemakers, Taylor now returns to the spotlight<\/strong> with his latest release \u2018Brighter Than The Sun<\/em>\u2019.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Voice of London met up with him in Southend<\/em>, his hometown. He told us about his inspirations, what’s behind his latest track and what his upcoming projects are.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
How did you understand that you wanted to do music in your life?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I\u2019ve loved music from an early age as there was always music playing in my house. I eventually got given an old keyboard which I started playing and writing songs on, this was when I knew I didn\u2019t want to do anything else.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Brighter Than The Sun is your new track. Where did you get the inspiration from?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Coming from Southend I had the lyric \u2018The ocean was alive pulling me below\u2019 going around in my head which blossomed when I came up with a guitar part. I guess \u2018Brighter than the Sun\u2019 is about the crave of something\/someone that will eventually save you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lyrics are emotive. Would you describe it as a sad song?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Not necessarily, I personally think it\u2019s quite an uplifting song, but then again it\u2019s subjective so I guess it\u2019s up to the listener.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What\u2019s the process behind it?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I was in a studio playing around with ideas and I got hooked on the way the first verse sounded, the rest of the song pretty much fell into place. After the song was written I started adding different synths and layers of guitars the broaden the sound in the chorus\u2019s which gives the song it\u2019s euphoric sound. My favourite part of the process was bringing in different harmonies with backing vocals, i think this is what makes the song what it is.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
What are working on at the moment? Have you thought about an album?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I\u2019m currently working on another single to be released soon which I\u2019m really excited about. Making an album is something I\u2019ve always wanted to do, I\u2019ve written so many songs in the past few years, so it would be nice to compile them into a body of work. At the moment I haven\u2019t planned to though.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What inspires you the most?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Listening to different music really, whether it\u2019s modern or old. If I hear I song I like I get obsessed with it and it encourages me to write. Honestly, I don\u2019t really write from personal experiances.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What do you like to do in your free time? What interests you?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I play a lot of golf in my free time, I have for quite a while now and I love it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What is Taylor\u2019s biggest dream?<\/strong><\/div>\n
At the moment my biggest dream would be headline a big festival like Glastonbury. I don\u2019t think there\u2019d be anything better than looking out and playing to sea of people, especially if they know the songs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When are we going to see you live on stage?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Very soon. I\u2019ve been practicing my live set recently getting the sound as good as is it can be and giving the songs the justice they need, so the wait won\u2019t be very long.<\/div>\n
