Allow us to introduce M Dot Taylor, the multi-faceted genius in the music industry who’s not only a rapper, singer, and songwriter, but also a proud military veteran hailing from Detroit, now taking Los Angeles by storm. Taylor’s unique sound, a fusion he calls “Gangster Harmony,” captures his love for both rapping and singing, creating an authentic representation of his lifestyle and culture.
Raised in Detroit, among stand-up hustlers who surpassed the harsh winters and thrived in the summers, Taylor learned the essence of hard work and perseverance. His biggest influences were his parents and grandparents, who instilled in him the qualities of leadership and resilience.
Taylor’s journey in music solidified after a transformative encounter with iconic figures Ice T & Dr Dre, thanks to his manager Hen Gee. His moniker ‘M Dot Taylor’ traces back to his military days when a chief noticed his distinct uniform name tag, and the name just stuck.
His recent collaboration, “Biggest Fan,” featuring Jim Jones & Maino, came into existence out of his desire to work with Zaytoven. The track, tailored to his vibe, led to a powerful team-up with his Dipset family and became a major hit. Taylor holds admiration for Jim, Maino, and Zaytoven for their successful longevity in the industry.
The music video for “Biggest Fan,” shot in NYC, encapsulates an authentic neighborhood vibe mixed with futuristic aesthetics. The best part? A fun-filled set where everyone enjoyed a good time. Through this visual, Taylor wants to convey the message of gratitude, urging fans to cherish and spoil their loyal supporters.
Taylor’s journey hasn’t been without hardship. Losing both parents in the month of December, he found solace in music. It not only served as a healing platform but also allowed him to express feelings that were hard to discuss elsewhere.
His time serving in the U.S Navy has left an indelible mark, ingraining in him the skills of time management, organization, and critical thinking. Today, in the studio, Taylor needs only three things: his engineer, Mary Jane, and some good food and drinks.
Taylor’s singular goal as an artist is to be a better version of himself with each passing day. With his talent, resilience, and the blessings of the new day, there is no doubt that M Dot Taylor is on an undeniable upward trajectory.
