Tony Taylor

You can expect an experienced professional pianist providing quality music geared to the client’s wishes. I read music and can also play by ear and I am able to learn songs very quickly.

I would communicate with the client either by phone, in person, and/or email to discuss exactly what songs or the types of songs they would like to hear performed at their event.

I grew up in rural south Alabama and began studying piano at an early age and continued through high school.
I attended the University of Memphis and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor's degree in Jazz Piano Performance. While in college, I played in various groups and events. After college, I worked in the cruise ship industry for Carnival and Princess Cruises as a show band pianist. After the cruise ships, I relocated to the Atlanta area and played with a variety of groups and various genres for various occasions.
In 2000, I spent three months performing with a jazz trio at the Ritz Carlton in Shanghai, China. In 2002, I went to Hong Kong, China performing with a jazz quintet.

I currently reside in south Alabama.

I can provide my own keyboard setup and small PA system if there is no piano or keyboard available. I can also connect to the house system if there is one available and if needed. I also have a battery operated keyboard and amplifier which will allow me to play outside or at the beach.
