Steph Taylor- Piano/Vocals
Nabedi Osorio- Drums
Steph Taylor has been described as a musical poet, creating a complete sensory experience through sound. There is no real way to pigeonhole this multi-instrumental artist, with a uniquely percussive approach to piano complimented by a flirtatious guitar style. Her smoky soulful voice lends itself to the emotional quality of her music. And while her presence is undeniably striking, her humility tends to match her humanity when she is on a stage. Born in North Miami Beach, this 24-year-old Florida native has been playing to a dedicated fan base since she was 16, selling out shows from Miami to Los Angeles. After spending two years studying English at the University of Florida, Steph packed her bags and moved to Boston, MA to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. She spent most of her time honing her songwriting skills while playing numerous venues throughout Boston.
Her 2003 debut album For Me has been hailed by The Independent Florida Alligator as "...a roller coaster of keyboard and guitar that engages the mind and the heart. She causes the keyboard to come alive..." Taylor’s new album Between Ground and Sky exhibits a more comprehensive understanding of herself as an artist. Creating music that is not confined by the boundaries of any specific genre, this new record pulls influences ranging anywhere from contemporary indie rock to alternative folk. Currently, Steph is touring the country in support of her new album. To see if
