Biography

" I think of my songs as a collection of stories--some of them are my own, some are other people’s, and some are events happening all around us. Who knows which ones are really mine?"

Her sound is infinitely relatable, yet alive with surprising twists and turns of acoustic melodies, modern bluesy anthems, and soulful lyrics. Hannah Madison Taylor first broke onto the music scene in Dallas, TX, in 2006, playing clubs and local venues.

  Skope: How does it feel to be chosen as an A2W artist on Skopemag.com?
  
  ?HMT: It’s really an honor to be one of the A2W artists chosen and featured on Skopemag.com.; or as my friend Shay would say, “It’s Strut.”? ?
  
  Skope: What have you been working on and promoting recently?
  
  ?HMT: I have been promoting my EP, ‘It Is What It Is’ to radio, t.v.,etc. And preparing my band for a short tour, and working on new material.
  
  Skope: What about your music do you feel sets it apart?
  
  ?HMT: Well, first the sound.It’s a really eclectic blend of Pop with an R&B fuse.The other thing that really sets my music apart is the fact that it captures moments and characters.The listener can really lose themselves in the songs for a few minutes.? ?
  
  Skope: How did you start creating music and what are your long term plans with your band??
  
  HMT: I have been creating music my whole life. However, I didn’t start writing songs until I was 17 years old. My long term plans for myself and my band are touring, a record deal, and ultimately, to be doing this in 20 years. I would love to have a career like Carol King. She’s done it all, she’s still doing it, she’s a legend, she’s respected, and she still seems to have stayed “Carol”, which can be very hard in this industry.
  
  Skope: When you are creating music what do you use as inspiration for lyrics & instrumentals?
  
  ?HMT: I’m inspired by everything around me: The news, billboards, movies, my life, my friends’ lives. Instrumentally, I am really inspired by bass and guitar. As a dancer, I am inspired by certain movement; And the sound of water is really inspiring for me when I write. Confession: I’ve come up with an idea for a song in the shower, and stayed in the shower until I finished the song. Haha.
  
  Skope: What is the most exciting aspect of being a musician in the digital age?
  
  ?HMT: The most exciting aspect is that people can access your music anywhere in the world-instantly. The other day I found out I had a fanbase in Australia, all because they heard my music online. How cool is that?!?? ?
  
  Skope: What can we look forward to that our readers should know about? ?
  
  HMT : I’ll be releasing an LP in early 2010. I’m doing a contest to allow the fans to help choose the songs that will be released, and to choose their favorite song for the first video release.The band and I will also be touring quite a bit.
