Bio

Her sound conjures up the passion of early Heart, the lyrical significance of the Indigo Girls-meets-Jewel, the joyful vocal jamming of Natalie Merchant, touches of Natalie Cole sophistication, and the enduring wit of Mary Chapin Carpenter and Rickie Lee Jones.

In sharing the most poignant thoughts, humorous ideas, and uplifting realizations from her life, India Taylor uses her melodies to set the words in such a way that they have power words alone would not. Then she lets her very soul out to rock and jazz the vocal performance.

As an artist, India believes you can take anything that happens to you, take away the part of it that challenges you, and create from it an earthy, romantic word painting, or mine from it an idea that is intriguing, even wisdom-provoking. The act of doing so will heal you. (Read topic descriptions next to her songs on her Music page!)

She does not seek to be trendy, but timeless. Through her art she shares a new way of looking at things with greater meaning and clarity, often bringing about an elevation in mood and perspective, or just making the song an event to celebrate for itself.

Her trio for live performances includes a talented drummer and bass player:
Rick Ellis, drummer, has enjoyed playing music all over the planet, especially in Japan, and has worked with several original and cover bands in the States as well. Bass player Jack Heiss is a veteran of R&B, garage rock and big-band swing. He plays with soul! They are based in Austin, Texas. Available for your special event, the India Taylor Trio plays a flexible, tasteful blend of light pop/rock/jazz hits and originals. India's past clients have included The Pier, The Oasis, Vintage Villas, weddings and other events.

India's career achievements to date include a CD called Mosaic which she recorded with Lloyd Maines of Dixie Chicks fame, and she was selected for an Emerging Artist grant by Jim Beam Bourbon. She has earned other national and local songwriting awards.
