Making a record is not easy, as I am sure you must all realize. . Labels aren't handing out money to the bands they believe in to record anymore. its a "Do it yourself" situation.
And it is VERY expensive and when you are an independent musician on the road, our source of income comes from ticket sales and merchandise.
Since I have SO many amazing friends and fans out there who truly believe in me and my music, I wanted to come up with a way to get you involved as much as possible, so that this record feels as much of yours as it does mine.
THIS IS HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT
I am offering a FAN/FRIEND package to ANYONE who believes in me and my music
With the donation of $100 or more, you will be one of the FIRST people to receive the album when finished, a free personalized DVD from me and the band AND...
THE BIG ONE...
YOUR NAME TO BE ON MY RECORD which will be there for the WORLD to see and know!!!!!
How this will work is
Click the paypal button below and it will take you to a place to place your order.
OR
you can send CHECK or MONEY ORDER to:
BURNT SOUND STUDIOS
ATTN: SABRINA TAYLOR
1551 N. POINSETTIA PL.
LOS ANGELES, CA.
90046
Make the check out to Sabrina Taylor
You will receive a receipt (which you will be able to use as a write-off in your 2008 taxes)
One Hundred dollars sounds like a lot of money, and I know it's hard for most people to come up with that amount - so I am ALSO offering a chance to PRE-ORDER the album.
By clicking the link below, you will be able to order the album, which will come with a free poster, autographed to you from me.
I am SO excited to have you all involved as much as I can.
I wouldn't be able to do this with out you and your belief in me and the music.
Cheers to the album and cheers to you all..
BIG HUG,
Sabrina

"This young woman has an extremely powerful voice and you can hear her passion belted from it on the four songs contained on this EP. I highly recommend you keep your eye on this girl; she’s destined for big things. This is a great EP to own and I suggest you get your hands on one."
GEOFF DELLINGER, Entertainment World
"Sabrina Taylor offers country-tinged pop/rock that features sweet vocals and tight band chemistry. Her songs are well crafted, catchy and fun. Nova Scotia’s loss is definitely our gain. Taylor should have a very promising future here in L.A." MUSIC CONNECTION REVIEW, Bob Leggett

"There’s a great deal of wannabe musicians running around Los Angeles with a guitar and a dream. Most of them should get back on the bus and go home to Kansas, West Virginia...where ever it was they boarded that Greyhound. Sabrina Taylor is not one of them." CELEBRITY BABYLON, Bill McCoy

"Her powerful lyrics and memorable melodies are what set her apart from other female artists today." WINDSWEPT PACIFIC
I had always dreamed of moving to Los Angeles since I can remember. Music has been a passion of mine since I was able to speak. I have always been into poetry, words, rhyming
and anything to do with describing emotions.
I grew up in a broken home for most of my life. I lived in and out of foster care, back and forth from mother to father and YES, it was hard. But for the most part I was fine because I had two younger sisters and one older brother at the time, to help make the transitions a bit easier (I now have 1 more brother and 4 other sisters, since then).
At the age of 7 I entered into a school variety show and performed in front of my very first audience. It was at that moment that I knew this was something I wanted and needed to do.
I could feel it in my bones, the excitement I felt being on stage was so intense.
Right away I started learning about poetry and started listening to a variety of music from POP (Cindy Lauper, Madonna) to ROCK (Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac) and good old COUNTRY ( Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers).
By the age of 13 I had already won a few poetry contests, won many singing competitions and was singing regularly, with two of my sisters, around the province. We called our selves SHIVERS because people would tell us "you girls give me shivers."
At the age of 16 things started getting harder at home so I finished high school, got a job and moved out on my own. I had also joined a band called ROSEMADDER, a rock band that allowed me to open my mind with my song-writing. I started writing darker material. ( I was into the Cranberries).
By the summer of my 17th birthday, I had planed on moving to Toronto to further pursue my musical career. I felt I had toped out where I was, selling out local clubs and I was jonesing for a bigger pond to swim in. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the move fell through. The timing was off and things just weren't lining up for me. I was devastated, pissed and decided to take this time and go to college.
I studied business at the local community college for a year and that summer, a NEW door opened up for me. A door that I had always dreamed of walking through. It was the door to Los Angeles.
In August of 2001, I packed my bags, said my goodbyes and left Nova Scotia for the first time in my life. I didn't know what to expect. I just KNEW that this was the way it was meant to be. It all made since to me now, why the Toronto move didn't happen.
I came to Los Angeles on my own, with $2000 to my name. It was a very rough, first 2 years, having to deal with getting a green card and finding a job. I was scared but also excited because this felt like home to me more than any other town I lived in.
Last year I released my first US EP titled "CAN'T GO HOME". It is produced by myself and best friend/Producer Jonathan Mesh. It is a CD about my journey to LA.
It did extremely well and It sold many copies and is still selling digitally.
Today, I am working on a full length album. This album is about growth, strength and finding out who I am and what my purpose is on this little Earth.
We are working on getting an EP version of the record ready for the summer of 2008.
I have been singing, writing and playing music since I can remember. It has been the ONE thing that has kept me sane in this very crazy world.
I am so grateful to be where I am today and to have the ability to do what I love. Even if it means jumping hurdles along the way.
Thank you to everyone for being so supportive of me from day one. I hope to meet as many people as I can with my music and my story.
ONE LOVE FOREVER!!
SABRINA TAYLOR
