Growing up in Peoria Illinois B Taylor divided his time between his hobbies- music and sports. Luckily, those two interests would interweave throughout his life, granting him many career opportunities. Having a reverend for a father and a church youth choir director for a mother, it was inevitable that Taylor would be active in his church choir, which would nurture a love for making music. Throughout childhood he played drums, piano,organ and guitar, and sang in the choir. His First songs were taught to him by his friends Bob Robinson and Tim Kelly, who would become the platinum-selling songwriters/producers of such hits as Boyz II Men's
"On Bended Knee", Sisqo's "The Thong Song", and Case's "I'm Missing You".
Taylor's athletic prowess took him to college where he played football and basketball at the University of Missouri. While in Missouri, Taylor was also active in the Naval Reserves and was picked up by the Secretary of
the Navy and Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Vern Clark, to play on the All-Navy and Team USA basketball teams as part of his service. Upon completion of the basketball tour, the Navy assigned Taylor special duty to
allow him to continue his professional sports and music careers while completing active military service and received an honorable discharge in Dec. 2003. Team USA brought Taylor to the west coast where he was invited to play piano at a celebrity/NFL function. This event proved to be a turning point in his career as he was discovered by Snoop Doggs's brother Bing. He was asked to play piano at his mother's birthday party and later at her wedding. At the party he played "Ribbon in the Sky" for therecording artist Lenny Williams ("Sparks of Love". That experience spawned an opportunity to begin recording in a studio in San Diego where he met members of Blink 182, Green Day and Jimmy Eat World and was given the chance to join them on their Pop Disaster Tour in 2002. This break led to the decision to peruse music more seriously.
Since then, Taylor has been performing in clubs across the country and at various special events, such as the 2004 NBA All-Star Extravaganza, the 2004 Narcotics Anonymous Convention, and a concert at New York's
Manhattan Center with Cuba Gooding. Taylor has worked with a variety of artists, notably rapper/actor/comedian Nick Cannon (Drum Line), recording artist Nate Dogg and Legendary singer Cuba Gooding ("Everybody Plays the Fool"). Taylor has also been busy speaking about how he balanced his military service, music and sports careers,appearing on San Diego's KUSI, San Diego's NBC and Telemundo. Meanwhile, B Taylor continues to record in the studio where he acts as a rapper, songwriter, and producer. This multi-faceted prodigy has already began to leave his mark in the music world with his unique twists on the traditional smooth sounds of R&B mixed with the energetic beats of hip-hop.
