Taylor Alexander is not your ordinary singer/songwriter. This multifaceted artist is a dynamic force – renowned for his familiar yet fresh melodies, thought-provoking lyrics and unwavering commitment to making a difference – through music. With a voice that soothes the mind and lyrics that touch the soul, Taylor’s music is a journey through the human experience. From heartfelt ballads to energizing anthems, the Cincinnati native (named after folk legend, James Taylor) tells stories of love, resilience, sorrow and self-discovery – leaving listeners captivated and inspired.
Taylor learned guitar in middle school and began playing college campuses and coffee houses in his late teens. His career gained momentum in his early 20’s as bandmate to sister Mia Carruthers (of The Bright Light Social Hour), the star from MTV’s Taking the Stage in 2009. Lived in LA 2014-2020 releasing 4 EP’s, multiple singles and performed over 1500 shows from LA’s Globe Theatre, Chicago’s Laugh Factory, Dallas’s Weismann Center to Spotify’s New York City HQ – and several hundred venues in between.
Taylor is the visionary and founder of GIG. He is currently working full-time as live musician in Austin, TX.
In 2020, COVID-19 shut down live music globally, Los Angeles was hit particularly hard. Taylor and other musicians way of life was completely compromised. Soon thereafter, a chance meeting with Professor Alan Tratner, (co-founder of Earth Day & green2gold) spawned inspiration, and ultimately, an idea: the Gifted Individuals Guild was born!
G.I.G. was created in April 2022 thanks to Prof. Tratner, fellow musician/friend Justin Haley (Secretary), show runner for Cincinnati’s premier live music venue Ghost Baby, and Morgan Barnhart (Treasurer). A music lover whose generous donation helped found this organization.
Taylor Alexander’s music is not just about entertainment; it’s a catalyst for change.
