Mark Taylor is taking Music City by storm. The 24-year-old Nashville resident brings that feel-good 90’s country sound back to his fans with his smooth vocals and soulful melodies. Having already opened for or shared the stage with superstars Big & Rich, Bryan White, Eric Paslay, Joe Nichols, Jon Pardi, Russell Dickerson, Members of R.E.M., The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, Collective Soul, and many more, Mark is certainly one to watch in Nashville.
As a songwriter, Mark has written songs recorded by Amii Stewart (Singer of the 1979 #1 “Knock on Wood”), Whey Jennings (Grandson of Waylon), Hayley Payne, Dan Harrison, Molly Lovette, and more.
With numerous singles under his belt, his release, I’m Down peaked at #11 on a fan-voted country chart. He has received airplay all over the world including Australia, Ireland, London, Switzerland, and the U.K. His single, “Dust Off That Dirt”, has received nearly a quarter of a million streams and has been added to several terrestrial AM/FM radio rotations throughout the Northeast and Southeast United States, as well as internationally. He also won ASCAP’s 2023 Harold Adamson Country Lyric award for this critically-acclaimed song. His music video for “Dust Off That Dirt” made its premiere on The Country Network, broadcasting to over 40 million households.
Mark‘s recent cut, “Just Before the Dawn” (Top 40 hit on the iTunes Country Chart and Top 10 hit in Norway), recorded by Whey Jennings, was featured in the award-winning film, “American Outlaws”, available in select theaters and streaming services now.
