Russell Taylor is many things to many people, but one thing he is certainly not: your average artist. A real Renaissance man if there ever was one, he is a singer, songwriter, actor, producer, director, activist and educator.

Labeled a “sanger”, not to be confused with an ordinary singer, he is a true artist at heart and he sings from the deepest, most soul-saturated part of his being. Or in the words of the great Ms Badu: “he is sensitive about his shit.”

Steeped in the rich musical tradition of Philadelphia, Russell absorbed the sounds and style of the artists that came before him as well as his peers. He has performed in sold out shows at the Apollo, was voted one of VH1’s You Oughta Know Artists, and his music has featured on The Morning Buzz Live, Stop/Watch & shows like Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Fosters, Degrassi the Next Generation, Atlanta Exes and Black Ink Crew.

The definition of a true musical Alchemist, he transforms his inner thoughts, feelings and experiences into pure soul, shifting the energy in the room with his touching vocals, heartfelt songs and sincere lyrics. Through the arts of acting, producing his music and his series SoulVersations, directing plays and designing for his clothing brand The Blxcks, Russell is polymath whose sole focus is to have you re-connect with the deepest part of your soul--to make you FEEL.
