A passionate music educator with a unique ability to custom-mold teaching style to a student's needs || songwriter and producer of depth and skill || energetic and creative performer || lover of people, faith, intellect, exploration, and narrative. Harnessing the multiple facets of his own personality, Atlanta-based singer/songwriter/producer, Patrick Taylor, creates music with many faces. Establishing and fronting the jungle-rock group Moonrise Collective was his most recent preoccupation, though currently he's moving in an increasingly electronic, indie pop direction, drawing on r&b, jazz, folk, and even EDM styles. His voice is rich with character and his songs rich with something: sometimes depth of meaning, sometimes quirky fun, sometimes emotional poignance, and sometimes ecstatic transcendence. This eclectic and energetic songwriter staggers his audience with a surprisingly good “mouth-trumpet,” and occasionally an impression or two.From a childhood spent imagining wonders in the woods of East Georgia to a college career spent in the learned streets of Boston, Patrick's musical journey has been one of romance and mysticism. Always seeking knowledge and a deeper understanding of his own personality, he's not unfamiliar with the life of a wandering vagabond. Musically this is reflected in his penchant for many varied genres of music-making, including jazz, orchestral composition, pop, r&b, world music, hip hop, and ambient. The conundrum has always been: how to unify such polar interests!? This is Patrick's current journey: making sense of his many influences and attempting to unify them into a cohesive project with visceral groove, soaring melodies, worldly sensibility, and mystic sensitivity. That's what's to be expected of the new music emerging from this semi-eccentric and very eclectic musician in the coming months and years. It's a promise not likely to go unfulfilled.
