Born and raised in a musical family, James Taylor was exposed to music at a young age. His father was a singer and songwriter who penned the hit, events of the night, and performed at various venues around the north-west of England and was one of the founding fathers of the emerging Liverpool karaoke scene in the late 70’s. His mother was a talented singer also with a voice that some compared to Barbara Streisand. Growing up, music was always a part of his life, and he learned to sing and perform at an early age. As a teenager, James Taylor reached the semi-finals of Open Mic UK and was invited to record with top producers in London. He quickly gained a reputation as a talented and engaging performer, and was soon invited to perform at weddings, parties, and other events. It was during one of these performances that James Taylor realized his true passion for music and decided to pursue it as a career. Over the past 15 years, James Taylor has established himself as a highly sought-after solo vocalist, performing at hundreds of weddings, corporate events, and tribute shows. His versatile style and ability to connect with audiences of all ages and backgrounds have made him a favourite among event planners and clients alike. With a repertoire that spans multiple genres, and decades from pop and rock to jazz and blues, James Taylor has a song for every occasion. Whether he's performing a romantic ballad for a couple's first dance or belting out a classic anthem to get the crowd dancing, he always delivers an unforgettable performance. One of James Taylor’s greatest strengths is his ability to personalize each performance to suit the unique needs of his clients. He takes the time to understand their vision and preferences, and works closely with them to create a setlist that perfectly captures the mood and tone of their event. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence have earned him a loyal following and numerous accolades throughout his career. He credits his father for instilling in her a love of music and a deep respect for the craft of performance. And also draws inspiration from some of his favorite artists, including Barry Manilow, Gary Barlow and Michael Buble, whose powerful voices and magnetic stage presence have left a lasting impression on him, he also performs a tribute show in the style of these artists. When he is not performing, James Taylor enjoys spending time with his family and friends, and is a keen DIY’er and car enthusiast. With over 15 years of experience as a solo vocalist, James Taylor is a true professional who brings passion, skill, and authenticity to every performance.
