Biography

Sydney, Australia-turned-LA-based singer/songwriter Joel Taylor fine-tuned his craft in a musical family that included everything from his boogie-woogie piano playing grandfather, a member of one of Oz’s first rock bands, Col Joy & The Joy Boys, to learning how to play New Orleans stride from his mother. Joel followed his dream to LA where like his idol, Billy Joel, he plied his trade at local piano bars playing for the contents of a tip jar. His first release, the double single Two Sides, a piano driven, energized, cut and B-Side “What Good Is Love”, a heartbreaking, acoustic ballad made his presence known. On “Give Myself Away”, Joel revealed his pop side and then he took us to church with “Moment’s Notice”, a gospel hymn about rebirth. While in Nashville, he joined Rhett Miller and Andy Skib for “Little By Little”, a warm-hearted, feel good tune about finding a sense of belonging and planting your roots. The song and video were released mid-pandemic and gave his audience that comfy sweater, hug during a time of uncertainty. His newest, the self-produced, “Collateral” features the timeless vocals of Susanna Hoffs, one of Pop music's most iconic voices. This soulful, rootsy ballad tops off 2022, and sets the stage for a slew of new releases 2023.
