Divinely ordered and musically talented with a driven sense of social obligation, Taylor Mallory is as authentic as they come.? A resident of the Windy City, but native of Decatur, Illinois, Taylor found his niche within his craft along with an amazing partnership with Level Next Music.
In addition to the cavalcade of projects from his career as an actor on AKOO TV, to opening for high-profile artists like India Arie, Mary Mary and David Banner, as well as providing his voice and hands to serve those who are less fortunate; Taylor Mallory is not a one-dimensional entertainer.
In an exclusive interview with Leanee Brown, contributing writer for ChicagoNow?s ?Just Nekia Nichelle?, Taylor Mallory discusses his lead single ?You Do It,? a ballad speaking to the emotional and spiritual connection invoked by a soul tie.? Anyone who has ever loved someone beyond the superficial or ever finds themselves genuinely enamored by their mate is beguiled by the lyrics of this serenade.? Listeners and readers who follow Taylor Mallory become spellbound.? Just read?
LB:? Give me 3 adjectives to describe the music?your music.?
TM:? ?Three?wow, that?s hard.? Honesty, creativity, and hipster-suave.? (laugh)
LB:? Now, three words to describe the man.
TM:? ?Christian, family man, and entertainer.?
LB:? That?s interesting how quickly you responded to the latter question.? You know who you are and what you stand for, I see.?
TM:? ?No doubt.? I believe that my fans connect with me, because I become transparent through my music.? My music leaves my heart and finds the heart of my fanbase.?
LB: That?s real.? Tell me, what makes these descriptions unique, yet synonymous with you, the artist, and the man, Taylor Mallory??
TM:? ?My music reflects what is important to me:? my faith, my family and my fans.? Everything I do is attached to a cause? a message.? I do not perform just for fortune and fame.? I believe in making a difference and promoting change in this world.?
LB:? I read that music is not in your genealogy, yet you are so blessed to have this amazing gift!? How do you explain it??
TM:? ?I can only say that my gift has made room for me.? Ironically, my surname, Mallory, means unfortunate, and my journey has been such the contrary.? If nothing else my life is a testimony used to inspire anyone going through anything.? You write the definition to the meaning of your life.?
LB: Let?s talk music.? Your first single, ?Sunni?s Outside,? and now your newest joint, ?You Do It,? what inspires your work??
TM:? ?I write about experiences and people who have connected with me through those experiences.? Both songs speak to very personal places and emotions.? I believe any man or woman can relate to having that someone in your life that just does it for them.? Although the two songs are completely different in meaning, they are birthed from the similar emotions.?
LB:? I?m amazed how young you are; yet you are so connected and grounded.? This is one of many reasons why I have enjoyed listening to your music.? What kind of artist do you classify yourself as??
TM:? ?I?m versatile.? Some call me Neo-soul.? Others call me R&B. I?ve even heard Pop.? The question is what do my fans enjoy?? And they enjoy good music.? At the end of the day, regardless of the genre, I am committed to creating sententious music that interconnects people across demographics.
