Taylor McFerrin (born June 29) is an American DJ, music producer, keyboardist & beatboxer based in Brooklyn, NY. He is the eldest son of popular vocalist and classical conductor Bobby McFerrin.
Taylor's musical style is equally influenced by the legends of 60's / 70's Soul, the kings of the Modern Beat Generation, Golden Era hip hop, free form jazz and electronic music. By playing all of the instruments on his productions, while also relying heavily on sampling and chopping up his live takes, he has found a sound that seamlessly bridges myriad musical worlds that draws the listener into a constantly shifting beautiful audio soundscape.
Taylor McFerrin's first recorded appearance was as a background singer on "Jubilee," a song included on his father Bobby's 1982 debut album for Elektra. A couple decades later, the younger McFerrin was known as a beatboxer and established a career as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and singer. In 2006, he released Broken Vibes, a broken beat-inspired vinyl EP pressed in a one-time edition of 900, and both co-produced and beatboxed on Ty's "What You Want (Taylormade)." His track "Go with Love" was selected for Brownswood Bubblers Two, compiled by BBC DJ and label head Gilles Peterson. Another single didn't arrive until 2011, when he initiated an alliance with Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label. Its A-side, the RYAT-fronted "A Place in My Heart," was included on another Brownswood Bubblers set. Meanwhile, McFerrin was stashing a large volume of unfinished recordings. He eventually dusted off a small portion and shaped the material into a full-length, Early Riser, released on Brainfeeder in 2014. A combination of left-field electronics, alternative R&B, and futuristic jazz, the album involved a number of collaborators, including labelmate Thundercat, Hiatus Kaiyote's Nai Palm, Blue Note artist Robert Glasper, Brazilian pianist Cesar Mariano, and, returning a favor from 32 years prior, Bobby McFerrin.
Taylor's ability to create and evolve music by drawing inspiration from all corners of his life translates into a sound that evokes feeling and an innovative live set that is equal parts wonderment and musical dexterity.
