Creativity, adventure, and becoming the spotlight of country music are some of the goals singer and songwriter Alexis Taylor strives for. Alexis Taylor is originally from Canada and was raised by a mom and dad who both worked in the music industry, the perfect combination.

From the age of 12, Alexis took music to heart with every ounce of support from her family. Huntsville, Ontario, was both beneficial and hard to grow up in, yet her music was her driving force attracting crowds from all over just to see her play.

Students in her school sung the lyrics to her songs after she performed, people looked up to her, and she became one of the few Canadian country singers that has made such an impact that she's played at venues such as the Huntsville Algonquin Theatre.

Her ambitions were too big for Canada to hold. Alexis packed her bags to go to a Christian university in Virginia for her first year of college. Alexis still was not in a place she could develop her full potential in her passion, music. She took her guitar by the neck to Nashville, Tennessee.

Alexis, like many musicians, came to Nashville with a guitar case full of dreams and a heart full of ambition. She continued her education at Middle Tennessee State University, worked full time, and worked day in and day out to produce a quality album.

I had the chance to listen to her play at the Maxwell Millennium Hotel. She rocked the house playing both her own songs and covers for four hours. Listening to her voice reach every part of the room during that time speaks volumes about her ability to perform.

To top everything off, Center Stage Magazine featured her new hit song “Until I See You Again” in their latest issue. I asked her what inspires her songwriting, and she responded with “Relationships.” She explained further that her experiences with others from her friend’s breakups to her own, and everything in between curates her lyrics.

Alexis will finish her EP over the course of the summer, which will showcase the hours upon hours of writing, studio time, and overcoming life’s challenges. Through and through, Alexis Taylor is bringing a new style to country music in Nashville clashing culture, experience, and talent with the average Nashville country singer.

If the article alone does not explain Alexis Taylor’s music this quote from Shania Twain, a country singer from Canada that Alexis looks up to, will, “ Without a doubt, the best way to get to know me is through my music. ”
