Ben Taylor
Biography
As the baby of James Taylor and Carly Simon, Ben Taylor was born into a musical world with much promise. His older sister, Sally Taylor, found her niche in the industry early on, but the younger Taylor never sought to follow the footsteps of his famous parents. His childhood might have been surrounded by recording sessions and tours across the world, but it wasn't in Taylor's mind to become a singer. It would be too easy and practically the normal thing to do, so he opted to ignore his brilliant genes and move on.

Taylor was raised in Manhattan and spent time in various private schools before leaving them behind in ninth grade. By now, he'd taught himself how to play guitar, but traveling the world and connecting with nature was Taylor's passion. Trips across Asia and Europe opened Taylor's eyes to Earth's greatest features, leaving him to think he'd might like to be a gardener or a farmer. Still, he had his hand in a few musical makings. Before he turned 20, Taylor's cover of the Beatles' "I Will" landed on the soundtrack to a domestic comedy featuring Paul Reiser, Bye Bye, Love. He eventually recorded an album for Epic's label, The Work Group, but it folded shortly after Taylor inked his contract.
