Russell Taylor is a multi-faceted artist possessing a broad musical range heavily informed by the rich sounds of
American cities he’s called home throughout his life (Philly, New York, and the DMV). He approaches his artistry
with an old-school flair rooted in showmanship and a commitment to connecting with audiences authentically.
Taylor's willingness to experiment with various sounds is one that has allowed him to navigate through multiple
genres effortlessly.
The new single, “Blood on the Metal” is a perfect blend of retro 80’s RnB/Pop production and warm soulfully
seductive vocals.
Russell has performed to sold-out shows at the legendary Apollo Theater, was installed as an acclaimed VH1’s
You Oughta Know Artist, and his music has been featured on The Morning Buzz Live, Stop/Watch & shows like
Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Fosters, Degrassi the Next Generation, Atlanta Exes, and Black Ink Crew.
The definition of a true musical alchemist, he transforms his inner thoughts, feelings, and experiences into pure
soul, shifting the energy in the room with his passionate vocals, heartfelt songs, and sincere lyrics. Through the
arts of acting, producing his music and his series SoulVersations, directing plays, and designing for his clothing
brand The Blxcks, Russell is a polymath whose sole focus is to have you re-connect with the deepest part of
your soul--to make you FEEL.
