Taylor Marie

At age 17, Taylor Marie has recorded a full-length album containing songs that rival the best material produced by most major label recording artists.
 
Taylor Marie (Mangan) began pursuing music at the age of 14, roughly a year after she had gotten a start in modeling. Her unmistakable, piercing blue eyes quickly drove her pictures to go viral online with multiple Facebook, MySpace, Tumblr, twitter and Instagram accounts based in dozens of countries soon appeared under her name, bearing her visage. It was this early subjection to Internet ubiquity that connected her with songs on her upcoming record like World Can't Take and No Warning.
 
Taylor Marie got her start in the nationally renowned School of Rock. While she already knew how to play drums, bass, guitar and piano, she had never even considered singing. Her raw talent and subsequent vocal cultivation led one of her instructors at the school to dub her &the whole package&; with their encouragement and the backing of family, Marie began the writing process with her co-writer, J.R. Denson, and the recording process with producer Ethan Kaufmann (Ryan Cabrera).
 
After captivating multiple crowds with her live shows in the DFW area, Taylor Marie has released her debut record, Breaking Points and Sleepless Nights. When asked about influences, she says that she's always been in to all kinds of music. Breaking Points sounds remarkably in tune with her influences, including Sarah Jaffee, Adele, Manchester Orchestra and Brand New. In her record, Taylor Marie walks the fine line between pop and new country; Breaking Points is a refreshing reminder that good pop can be void of the synthheavy, computer-generated beats that are so prevalent on the radio. Taylor Marie's compelling voice belts undeniably catchy hooks and insightful lyrics that don't sacrifice substance for marketability. Breaking Points could indeed be dubbed &the whole package& as well.
