B. Taylor

Renowned musician B. Taylor has been deemed the “Stevie Wonder of Hip Hop” for his musicianship and ability to play four instruments—piano, drums, guitar and organ. Discovered by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles’ Pete Moore, he has been endorsed by The Miracles, The Supremes, The Temptations, The Marvelettes, The Vandellas, The Four Tops, The Gordy Family and the iconic Cash Family of country music for his unique talents as a hip-hop artist, producer and songwriter with consummate musicality.

As a No. 1 Billboard-charted musician, writer, producer and performer, the Peoria, Illinois native was a University of Missouri football and basketball student athlete and later became a decorated sailor in the U.S. Navy, as well as a standout player of the All Navy and Military Team USA basketball team. During the war, he was awarded special duty and a honorary discharge by the Secretary of the Navy in order to pursue the NFL and his entertainment career professionally. Taylor maintains an active presence as a global ambassador of music and entertainment for the U.S. military, veterans, first responders and their families, and has been supported by many top ranking officials from all four branches of the U.S. military, as well as Department of Defense officials.

He earned two Grammy nominations in 2012 for his single, “Fire In Your Eyes,” featuring NCIS star Pauley Perrette, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles sales chart. Taylor has also performed for three presidents and opened for Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Ray J and many other notable entertainers.

With increasing Facebook fans, Instagram and Twitter followers and more than 1 million views on YouTube, he has also garnered national presence on ESPN, Extra, The Insider/Entertainment Tonight, Fox, CBS, NBC and ABC, as well as features in Billboard Magazine, BRE (Black Radio Exclusive) Magazine, Yo! Raps Magazine, Respect the Grind, The A&R Chronicles, El Diario and allhiphop.com.

This rising young mogul has received over 60 endorsement letters and testimonials from top government officials, military officials, Fortune 500 executives, educators, legendary entertainers, and continues to redefine the music industry with his impeccable brand. Taylor has changed the culture and is the first artist to bridge the gap between hip hop urban/pop culture, Classic Motown, the U.S. military and motorsports. His “1 Life” movement is a positive, powerful force, as he is helping, changing and saving lives all through the universal power of music.
