ABOUT MAX TAYLOR
British Bass Player, Touring Musician and Singer-songwriter
ARTIST INFO
Taylor was born in London to a family of musicians. After leaving school and then smashing around in lots of different bands and singing and working with loads of random people and artist like (Roots Manuva, Tom Robinson, Lilly Allen, Rae Morris, Fryars and other random stuff).
He decided to start a solo career in 2020 and he released his first EP with the label state51, before coming up with a full album he titled "Debut Album" under the pseudonym of Creepy Neighbour.
The best thing Creepy Neighbour did was create a hat with Creepy Neighbour written on it. Which now exists as an iconic piece of fashion design if I don’t say so myself...
Three years later , a second album came out under his actual name, Max Taylor. As he is working on the release of a third opus, Taylor is getting ready to go on a UK tour this October 2024.
How it began
Max Taylor began his musical career after leaving school and joining forces with a drummer called Jamie Morrison. Together they paraded around London in a smashed up van, playing in as many different bands and outfits that you could possibly fit into a day. After a couple years of this he joined synthpop band Clor and quickly signed to Parlophone Records. They toured across Europe for a year and half, eventually crashing and splitting up not long after performing at the first Ibiza Rocks festival. Clor's only album now sits happily at no.1 in the NME’s 100 greatest albums you’ve never heard of chart.
Since the Clor split, Taylor went on to work with a number of different artists playing bass and backing vocals for live shows and also featuring on their records. Artists worked with include Roots Manuva, Tom Vek, CocknBullKid, Foxes, Groove Armada, Lily Allen, Melanie C, Rae Morris, The Plump DJ’s, The Dholl Foundation, Tom Robinson, Alex Metric and Fryars.
In 2023, Taylor released a second album telling the journey to finding one's true self. A more mature second opus that marks an important step for the artist.
In 2011, Max started working and touring with international americano-lebanese pospstar MIKA throughout the world; and then released his first own materials during the pandemic in 2020, under the alias of Creepy Neighbour. His first album (2021), now available on his artist's page on streaming platforms, was titled "Debut Album" and is the reflection of years of writing and composing in between tours.
