EROS IS THE SON OF A PIMP AND A WORKING GIRL
WITH A RIDE-OR-DIE MENTALITY
NOTHING COMES EASY
IN SURREY, BC, EROS TAYLOR WAS BORN A PRODUCT OF A KINGSTON, JAMAICA NATIVE FATHER AND A METIS-UKRAINIAN MOTHER. FROM AN EARLY AGE AND AFTER THE LOSS OF HIS FATHER TO GUN VIOLENCE, EROS COULD BE FOUND CONFIDING IN ANY INSTRUMENT IN SIGHT. RNB CROONERS OF THE 90S AND EARLY 2000S DEMONSTRATED THE HEALING POWERS OF MUSIC. THE 2010s RISING DIE-HARD ENERGY OF THE WEST COAST POP-PUNK AND HARDCORE SCENE PROVED THAT MUSIC GATHERS PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. BETWEEN DROPPING IN AND OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, EROS' LOVE FOR MUSIC WAS IGNITED BY HIP-HOP, RESULTING IN AN ECLECTIC PRODUCTION STYLE THAT KNOWS NO BOUNDS. TODAY, EROS' ROMANCE-FUELED SONGWRITING IS REMINISCENT OF HIS INFLUENCES SUCH AS BURT BACHARACH/HAL DAVID, DEFTONES, JAMES FAUNTLEROY, JOHN MAYER, AND MORE. THE FAMILY-LIKE BOND THAT TAYLOR HAS WITH HIS AUDIENCE IS JUST ONE REASON WHY FANS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ALL IN ON A SECRET.
SINCE THE INDEPENDENT RELEASE OF HIS DEBUT SINGLE "LET ME", EROS HAS COLLABORATED WITH BOTH INDEPENDENT AND ESTABLISHED ARTISTS SUCH AS YE ALI (PRODUCER FOR JACK HARLOW, TORY LANEZ, CHRIS BROWN), LIL B THE BASED GOD, AND MORE. HIS PRODUCTIONS ARE TRANSLATED INTO THE ELECTRIFYING LIVE PERFORMANCES OF HIS ENSEMBLE "HONEYVELVET"
TAYLOR IS KNOWN ON THE MUSQUEAM SQUAMISH AND TSLEIL-WAUTUTH LANDS (AKA VANCOUVER) FOR BEING A COMMUNITY CATALYST THROUGH ENTREPENAURSHIP, MUSIC PRODUCTION, AUDIO ENGINEERING, AND EVENT PRODUCTION. HIS RESUME INCLUDES LEADERSHIP ROLES AT PANDORA’S BOX STUDIOS, HEADSPACE STUDIOS, AND RECENTLY LANDBACK RECORDS. HIS MOST RECENT ENDEAVOUR IS THE DEVIASCOPE VISUAL ARTS STUDIO, AN ACCESSIBLE SPACE, AND HUB FOR CREATIVES TO BRING IDEAS TO FRUITION. HE IS THE MUSICAL DIRECTOR AND TALENT BUYER AT THE INTIMATE GIN BAR, THE BLIND RABBIT. TAYLOR IS PASSIONATE ABOUT COMMUNITY-DRIVEN EVENTS WHICH INCLUDE; A SOLD-OUT LANDBACK RECORDS LAUNCH PARTY AT FORTUNE SOUND CLUB, LOS ANGELES' FIRST ALL-INDIGENOUS INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY FESTIVAL, LEESIDE "BE THERE" FESTIVAL, NYHLA RECORDS "RADAR" AND MORE. TAYLOR ALSO OFTEN SPEAKS ON INDUSTRY PANELS REGARDING MUSIC COMMUNITY, AFRO-INDIGINAETY, AND DIVERSITY. HE AIDED COUNTLESS INDEPENDENT ARTISTS IN HAVING THEIR FIRST TASTE OF MAKING A LIVING FROM THEIR CRAFT AND IS THE SECRET WEAPON IN THE STUDIO BEHIND MANY LOCAL MUSICIANS. (SEE PRESS)
