Some Artists, they captivate you almost instantly, and that was the deal for me with Taylor Bickett, who I was fortunate to meet opening for Friend of the Show Ron Pope during an extensive North American tour early this year. Catapulted by a viral moment for her 2022 single" Quarter Life Crisis," the Indianapolis native has continued to make her name known in Music City and beyond, not only through her crystalline voice, but some of the most interesting songwriting in Nashville. Newer singles such as "Binary Code" and "I Like Mondays" continue the introspection and soul-searching themes, that feel both personal and universal at the same time. In this interview, Taylor talks about the balance of keeping songs vs giving them away to other artists, her musical theater background, moving to Nashville, the viral success of "Quarter Life Crisis" and more.
