Steve Taylor

Hailed by  Prism as a “renaissance man,” musician/filmmaker/writer/producer/entrepreneur Steve Taylor has created a remarkably diverse body of work over the past four decades that has garnered him multiple RIAA Platinum and Gold certifications, worldwide record sales exceeding 1M, two GRAMMY® Award nominations, and a wide array of Billboard Music Award, Dove Award, Telly Award, and American Advertising Award awards and nominations.

Taylor’s recording career began in 1983 and spans both solo work – including such GRAMMY® Award-nominated albums as 1984’s  Meltdown and 193’s  Squint – as well as founding the groundbreaking alternative rock band Chagall Guevara and fronting the supergroup Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil. In 1994, Taylor’s wide-ranging songcraft was celebrated with the all-star tribute album , I Predict a Clone: A Steve Taylor Tribute. Meanwhile, Taylor has proven an in-demand producer with a track record that includes 1997’s Platinum-certified self-titled third album from Sixpence None The Richer (highlighted of course by the 3x Platinum, worldwide #1 hit single, “Kiss Me” and the Gold-certified “There She Goes”) along with three Gold-certified albums for Newsboys, 1994’s  Going Public, 1996’s  Take Me To Your Leader, and 2003’s  Adoration, all four of which earned GRAMMY® Award nominations.

For more than four decades, The Choir has carved out a distinctive place in alternative music, blending atmospheric guitars, thoughtful songwriting and an unmistakable mix of rock, post-punk and ambient textures.

Originally formed in Southern California and now based in Nashville, the band features Derri Daugherty on vocals and guitar, Steve Hindalong on drums and vocals, and Dan Michaels on saxophone, Lyricon and wind synthesizer.
