Meet Jon Harrison Taylor
Jon Harrison Taylor is a Los Angeles rock and soul singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist by way of Austin, Texas. Taylor is the youngest son of rhythm and blues STAX icon Johnnie Taylor (1968's monster R&B smash "Who's Makin' Love?", 1976 COLUMBIA hit "Disco Lady", among others). Taylor has taken his father's influence and bred it with his own musical vision to create a unique sound.
After moving to Los Angeles, Taylor spent much of his time traveling the world as a lead guitarist with major label artists. Taylor played shows across the U.S., Asia and Europe. Jon discovered his unique sound by digging within himself, playing live shows of his original music, and by playing with other great artists. He has appeared on The Carson Daly Show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Soul Train, Top of the Pops (Amsterdam, Milan), MTV Italy, The Sharon Osbourne Show, and more.
Now Jon has just finished a brand new collection of works called WOMAN. WOMAN, whose sound Taylor has dubbed "Beautifunk", is a soulful rock CD that combines the gritty music of his father's late sixties era and the funk ascension of seventies soul. It combines the modern R&B romance of Maxwell with the rock vibe of The Killers. WOMAN lends itself to the contemporary, sexual dirt grooves of rock/R&B artists like Macy Gray and Prince, while remembering the musical storytelling of The Jon Mayer Trio. It is the storied sound of the future past: nostalgic, adventurous, and present. WOMAN is both intricate and primitive, and it's essence is all Jon Harrison Taylor.
