I was born Taylor Alexis Muhl, in Hollywood California, on November 5th 1983. I wasn’t born in a hospital, I was born in my parents home, with two midwives and I was a natural birth. I’m the only surviving child of Eric and Alexandria (Alex) Muhl. Throughout my childhood, teens and adult years, I was a dancer who trained under choreographers who’ve choreographed for Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Pink, Janet Jackson and Britney Spears. My background in dance is what landed me in an adult girls singing group. After becoming one of the lead singers, I then realized my true passion and love for singing. After the group parted, I was driven to pursue a solo career as a singer/songwriter, and though I don’t play an instrument yet, I’ve developed my own way to write songs.
My first mentor who helped me find my vocal style was, Lyrica Garrett from VH1’s Love & Hip Hop. After Lyrica, I briefly worked with celebrity vocal coach Valerie Moorehouse to learn the technical side of singing. Through the years I’ve had opportunities to work with music mentors like Randy Jackson from American Idol, Ron Fare from Geffen A&M Records, Barry Gordy Jr. from Motown Records, amongst many others. The music I feel most connected to vocally is old school blues, jazz, and soul. I find most of my singing inspiration through artists of those genres.
I was the first person in the entertainment business to come out publicly (The Doctors Show) being born with a rare genetic condition called, Chimerism (I Am My Own Twin) Human Chimerism is when two fraternal twin eggs fuse together in the womb. Due to the fusion I carry my twin sister’s genetic makeup within my body. I was the first person as well to reveal my torso publicly. It displays two different colors of skin pigmentation split straight down the center. The second color skin pigmentation being my twins’ genetic makeup.
Outside of being a singer/songwriter, I’m a public advocate who spreads Chimera Awareness, it’s link to autoimmune and body positivity. As a point of interest, I’m the granddaughter of Hollywood mogul Edward Muhl, who was VP in Charge of Production at Universal Studios for more than 30 years, overseeing such movies as Psycho, The Birds, To Kill A Mockingbird, Spartacus, and others.
