Josh Taylor Awesome Actor, Extraordinary Entertainer, Vibrant Vocalist

Josh TaylorWhile this site boasts some of the very best talent in the world, I’m always excited to discover one more multi-talented artist to introduce here.  About a month ago I discovered 13 year old Josh Taylor’s YouTube Site for the first time.  He was singing his original song entitled “I Don’t Want to Be Ordinary” which contained a powerful message wrapped up within an amazing musical masterpiece! In addition the video was artistically produced and acted out with such professionalism that I knew I had just found a youngster that was NOT ORDINARY!

I thought to myself who is this young performer? Is he signed? Is he being produced yet?  I immediately read the description contained within that post and found that he was working with two amazing writers, Matthew Humphrys and Andrew Beverley of 360 Artist Development.

It only took moments to compose a letter to his production team requesting more information about Josh in an attempt to learn more about him.

I was delighted to be put in contact with Josh’s Father who graciously supplied me with the following insight into the background of his extraordinarily talented son!

After watching and listening to Josh, I was amazed to learn that nether of his parents were musically involved in the arts in anyway.  This discovery lent itself quite well to the theory of a God given talent from birth, and in Josh’s case, was born with NO ORDINARY portion!

Colton Jacobson Tremendously Talented Texas Teen

Colton JacobsonSetting aside special time each week just to listen to new young vocalists is one of my favorite things to do.  While I receive many requests via YouTube and e-mail to check out various talented singers, what thrills me even more is when I accidentally stumble upon a talent that jumps out of obscurity and hits me square in the face.

Such was the case with fourteen year old Colton Jacobson.

Heralding from Frisco, Texas Colton Jacobson is a young musical prodigy with a big voice and with music seemingly running through his veins.

I sat in awe as I watched and listened to each of his YouTube videos that included covers by Adel, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Jessie J, and Beyoncé.  Often I will skip off to a new channel after one or two videos, but Colton stopped me dead in my tracks.  I could not leave until I heard every one of his covers.

While every video was more than enjoyable, Colton’s cover of “Fireworks” by Katy Perry and Adel’s “Set Fire To The Rain” were for me the most impressive.  His A capella portion in “Set Fire To The Rain” allowed me to really note how pitch perfect he could be.  Stepping away from his piano accompaniment for just those few bars more than captured my attention and drew me in.  It was then and there that I had to discover more about this tremendously talented Texas teen.
