New single from America's hottest teen sensation

Taylor Bright is America's hottest teen sensation and her debut single 'Striped Socks' is set to become the teen anthem of 2010!

Philadelphia native Taylor Bright is a high-spirited go-getter with a down-to-earth sense of self!  The 16-year-old budding songstress channels such enthusiasm into an effervescent combination of radio-friendly pop and rock that’s both mature and genuine. Self-penned tunes such as the playful ode to a crush, "Striped Socks," showcases her light-hearted song writing style and memorable choruses ensure it is a fantastic pop release!

The music echoes Taylor's emerging sophistication much like her inspirations, Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. And, inside all of that Taylor shatters stereotypes on what it means to be an African-American artist making music within the pop and rock realms.

“It doesn’t matter what you look like and it’s not the type of person you are,” Taylor says. “With my music, I just want to give the message, ‘Be who you are and do what you love.’”

Since age 10, Taylor has participated in various theatre productions and plays. Her national credits include Annie 30th Anniversary National Tour. She performed in over 300 shows across America and appears on the 2008 cast recording. She also appeared in productions such as An American Girl: Circle of Friends and 13: The Musical, a teen-centric comedy written by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown. Taylor’s numerous film and television spots include Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls on the Discovery Kids channel.

Most recently, Taylor appeared in an Earth Day promotion via Nickelodeon. Taking the initiative to be more eco-conscious is something that’s very dear to Taylor’s heart; she plans for her album cover to be made out of recycled paper.

“The environmental cause is very important to me -- it affects everyone, regardless of age, race, and nationality and brings the human race together to fight for something that we need in order to survive. As a young person, I know I can contribute and make a difference. As an artist, I can use my music to help educate young people and set an example for others to follow.”

Bright has worked with multi-platinum songwriter and producer Kenny Lamb (*N SYNC, Justin Timberlake, Rhett Akins) and engineer Chris Rowe (Taylor Swift, Jewel) and  plans to self-release a seven-song EP. She plans to donate a portion of the proceeds to Free the Children, an educational initiative partnered with Oprah Winfrey’s Angel Network.

When she’s not practicing with her vocal coach or writing a new song, Taylor spends time with her friends, hanging out at the park or shopping. She also takes dance twice a week while balancing school work. On weekends, she can be found absorbing the countless sights and sounds of New York City.
