Biography[]
A self-taught musician from Long Beach, California, Taylor learned guitar at age 15 and performed in bands during education.[6] He later created background music for prayer meetings at his church, which was heard by a film writer and director, Eliot Rausch.[2] They collaborated on some short films together, and Taylor contributed to the soundtrack of August: Osage County (composed by Gustavo Santaolalla), before his first full soundtrack credit, Meadowland (2015). More recently, he composed for the TV series The Handmaid's Tale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
