Taylor Sharp

Taylor Sharp is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Raleigh, NC. His music takes inspiration from 60's psych and chamber pop (the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Zombies, etc.) as well as indie/alt rock from the turn of the century (Belle and Sebastian, Radiohead, the Strokes). He has been releasing music since 2022, starting with the upbeat "Runaways". His songwriting grew more sophisticated along with his production as he followed up with the synth-driven "I Will Wait" and melancholic "You're Still Standing Near Me". The next year, he continued to push his musical abilities with "When There's No Music to Write", the double-edged "Long Ride / Goodbye", and "No Help to Anyone", which all proved he could work outside of the typical pop song structure. "Memoria", the lead single from his debut album, showcases some new sounds prevalent on the record: lush harmonies, layered keyboards, jazz guitar, and melodic bass-lines. The follow up, "Mirror", further showcases this new sound wrapped around its introspective lyrics. Outside of his bedroom studio, Sharp has played local shows both solo and with his band.
