Biography
Taylor McMahon born on March.27, 1997, is a multi- talented musician and vocalist from Ontario Canada. Although Taylor had always loved music, she began to embrace her love of performing at the age of only fifteen, when she was accepted into her high school vocal jazz group Bluesettes & Co. in the fall of 2013. She enjoys singing many genres of music including; Jazz, Blues, Pop, Folk, and Rock- but most commonly enjoys covering popular music. In any musical setting Taylor is referred to as the "HARMONIZER" as she fell involve with the idea of harmonies, and now sings harmonies more often then a melody. She has performed in many concerts, shows, and events including; Show Choir Canada (April 2015), All Saints Sing Off (May 2015), and various concerts put on by her high school. Apart of the Show Choir, Vocal Jazz group, Senior Band, and Small Ensemble, Taylor enjoys the countless opportunities of performing. She has successfully composed six original songs over the past three years, and is continuing to work on new ones. Taylor enjoys working with young kids, and is planning to open up a music school system in her home to teach vocals, and guitar to young children in the Summer.
