Artist Bio
About Taylor and His Team:
Melbourne, Florida native, Taylor Hewitt is a 17 year old singer-song writer, recording artist, and co-producer of his new unreleased "Fly With Me" EP. Taylor works diligently with his team which consist of industry professionals who have been directly involved with artists who have sold millions of albums and several world tours. Now their journey with Taylor has begun and we are extremely blessed to have them all on board. Larry Fridie, former manager of James Brown the Godfather of Soul, whose clients have been involved with over 50 million records sold, serves as manager and Rob McNeely, an entertainment lawyer at the Florida law firm of Messer Caparello, P.A., is Taylor's general counsel. Rob served as the lead attorney for Creed through more than 20 million albums sold and two world tours.
Larry Fridie stated "Taylor is one of those kids that has that "It" factor. He will be a great asset to any record label. Of all the talent I have seen, I chose to work with Taylor and the Hewitt family. The last time I passed up on a talent like Taylor in Augusta, Georgia, they turned into Lady Antebellum."
Rob McNeely stated "There is no question in my mind that Taylor Hewitt is the real deal," Rob said recently. "His talent is not in question, and you can see in his eyes that he wants to impact people's lives with his music. At a recent industry gathering, Taylor was the only musician there who carried his guitar slung over his shoulder everywhere he went, just in case he was asked to play. (He was, he did, and he brought down the house.) That level of passion is not taught; it just is, and Taylor's got it."
William Whitney, sound engineer at Full Sail University, stated. "It was a pleasure working with Taylor, He was a great performer as well as a professional artist off stage. It was very selfless for him to be willing to share his guitar with the act before him on Sunday. I would like to get him involved here at Full Sail to possibly record or play some Live Shows." Taylor is a team player and gives his all to make it happen.
Larry stated. "No matter how you feel about 17 year old Taylor Hewitt, you still have to marvel about how hard he works and how dedicated he is to his craft. Taylor has learned to play several instruments including the Upright/Electric Bass, Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Piano, Drums, as well as the Ukulele. Taylor, in his first Demo EP, co-produced and co-wrote all songs. Taylor in recording wanted his own brand of forward-thinking, synth-heavy Pop/R&B music, ear marked for the teen crossover market."
With the backing of his family and Mr. Fridie, Taylor met Michi Robinson of Atlanta, an artist development coach who worked with Justin Bieber, Usher. Michi introduced producer Nile Phoenix (Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown). Together they wrote and produced the first single Fly with Me, which was recorded and mastered at the World Renown PatchWerk Studios in Atlanta.
Taylor recently performed at Playlist-Live in Orlando, Florida, before hundreds of teens and college age kids. The kids went crazy! In fact the host asked Taylor to stay over and perform a 2nd show the next day before hundreds of attendees.
Taylor at 17 has recognized the hardships of teenage homelessness, depression awareness in teens, and has been a voice to prevent it. Taylor will continue to be that voice as his career takes off......Taylor and his friends actively update all his social websites and is building a fan base daily!
