Interview with Taylor Abrahamse - Coming to North Elk Coffee House 5/20
From Wikipedia:
After begging his parents for an agent at the age of six, he began landing numerous commercials in TV & radio, as well as print. Soon, this transitioned over into supporting TV movie & series roles, including Jimmy Osmond in the ABC biopic Inside the Osmonds, & Eliott in PAX TV’s Doc, a series starring Billy Ray Cyrus for which Taylor was nominated for a Young Actor’s Award for ‘Best Performance In A Supporting Role’. Taylor also played Cinco, in the Ross Petty pantomime Snow White & The Group Of Seven, acting and singing alongside Canadian Idols including Ryan Malcolm & Billy Klippert, and Glass Tiger frontman Alan Frew. At the age of 12, after receiving an Elton John songbook, Taylor became obsessed with singing & songwriting.[citation needed] As a teenager, Taylor was a Top 40 finalist on Canadian Idol.[citation needed] In the years that followed, he continued to write music as a solo artist and for others.[citation needed] He has produced, written & performed various songs for popular YouTube channel Super Planet Dolan – videos centered around those songs have amassed over 20 million views. Taylor also has had various independent ‘demo’ releases, and for a time, an ‘Abra-vault’ on his website that housed thousands of other demos, dictations, reflections, videos, lyrics & more. After a spontaneous performance at a music conference, Taylor was discovered by Jimi Hendrix producer Eddie Kramer, who insisted on working with Taylor.[citation needed] That album, produced by Kramer with additional production by Taylor, was released in 2020. The lead single “I Won’t Put Up With It”, features a music video largely edited & directed by Taylor.
