Hey there, I’m Taylor, Head of Music Production and Guitar Teacher!

I thrive not just in performing, producing, and engineering music, but in those breakthrough moments that make this lifelong musical journey so rewarding.

Growing up in Oregon, I played in a wide range of bands, exploring everything from funk, blues, and jazz to hip-hop, rock, and metal. Along the way, I developed a deep passion for songwriting, production, and recording.

I began studying classical music theory at Lane Community College before attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music. There, I had the opportunity to learn from world-class mentors, including Tomo Fujita (renowned for teaching John Mayer), Grammy-winning jazz guitarist Nir Felder, bebop virtuoso Sheryl Bailey, and Latin jazz master Freddie Bryant. I also honed my skills in audio engineering under Grammy-nominated and Latin Grammy-winning producer Enrique Gonzalez Müller.

After Berklee, I landed at the award-winning Bridge Sound and Stage in Boston, where I trained under chief engineers Alex Allinson and Janos “The Archetype” Fulop. My time there quickly led to a role as a house engineer before eventually making the move to Los Angeles.

Now based in LA, I continue my work as a producer, engineer, and performer. I’m a key member of the funk-jazz-soul group Tiger Heaven, led by bassist Chase Bryant (Warbringer, Father Daddy, formerly of Pomegranate Tiger and Oni), and actively involved in my own EDM-infused metal project, Ghost Den. You can often find me performing at venues across the city, from The Dresden in Hollywood to the legendary Hinano Café in Venice.
