Author: Todd Woodson October 24, 2020 Duration: 28:43
Join my conversation with Taylor Deneen. Taylor Deneen Christmon is a singer, songwriter, vocal arranger, and producer studying Professional Music and contemporary Writing/Production at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Although born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, don’t let the stereotypes fool you. Taylor’s signature sound comes from a variety of genres including contemporary R&B, neo-soul, funk, gospel, and jazz. Some of her main musical influences are Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Erykah Badu, Whitney Houston, and Jill Scott. At just twenty years old, Taylor has performed in front of and worked with the likes of Grammy award-winning Missy Elliot, Chaka Khan, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dreion, and Epic Records’ very own Sylvia Rhone just to name a few. Taylor has also toured internationally and worked under the direction of award-winning musical director Rob Lewis, prominently known for his work with Christina Aguilera, Toni Braxton, and Brian McKnight. ​Taylor began singing both classical and contemporary music at the age of six and started composing music and playing instruments shortly afterward, performing in honor bands, choirs, churches, and music festivals across the U.S. By sixteen, the National YoungArts winner had already caught the attention of artists like Angela Winbush, Andra Day, and Eric Whitacre. At the age of seventeen, Taylor was on her way to Boston to further her music education after accepting a full scholarship from Berklee College of Music.
