CHRISTOPHER TAYOR

PATH TO SERENITY

Christopher takes his listeners one step further with his new release, “Pure Shakti” from his forthcoming “Path to Serenity” EP, the follow-up to his successful 2023 album, “Remains to be Seen, Volume 1,” and “Remains to be Seen, Instrumentals, Volume 1.” EP. 

Metaphysical and eclectic, energizing and calming at the same time. Once again, Christopher’s songwriting evolves as he moves from guitar and drums to step behind the hammered dulcimer, adding percussive melodies into the texture of his sound. This sonic journey is made even more interesting with the addition of the udu drum, an implosive and obscure instrument native to Nigeria.

REMAINS TO BE SEEN, VOL. ONE

Christopher Taylor writes music that is uplifting, conscious, rhythmic, soulful, and inspiring. Starting out on drums, Christopher was able to use rhythms to express his inner feelings. He later took up guitar and hammer dulcimer as his songwriting evolved into a message of healing and hope.
