From BBC Radio 1 to U.S. Music Landmarks

Grant Taylor’s story is far from typical. A seasoned performer, he first gained national attention as part of the BBC Radio 1 house band, working with household names like Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw. That spotlight propelled him onto major festival stages, including Isle of Wight and Victorious Festival, earning him a loyal following and industry respect.

But Taylor’s journey didn’t stop at the UK border. He ventured across the Atlantic to record in some of the most iconic studios in music history — Sun Studios in Memphis and Fame Studios in Alabama — soaking in the spirit of legends and channeling it into his own work.
