    There are three things that keeps me coming back to her vids; those eyes, that smile, and that sultry voice. Oh, and she's a helluva drummer too.

    Words of wisdom... Like that you stated that you were not in control... and that you had to trust the divine process. It's a "Process". 😎 Needed to hear that... that was deep! Continued success Ms. Queen.

    What I've learned in my short amount of time (57 yrs.) that all things come to fruition when our spirit is prepared for the position that we are given (you singing the song)!
    In the meantime GOD is immersing us in experiences that will mature our talent set, our spirit and our relationship with HIM. What is deemed a full life is the tidbits that we acquire from our Godly journey; more than the final outcome or the monumental milestone! THAT IS GOD!!!!!!
    Continue to inspire, ever bit of your journey is lessons for us all and what you thought was a delay, was your time of preparation for this very MOMENT. Stay blessed and continue to share, it's truly inspiring!

One day I'd love to talk to you about my journey so far and why this vid spoke so much life into me. But whether or not that happens, thank you for being a vessel in this vid. I absolutely needed to hear it. Bless up!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿

    Wow. I can totally relate to losing everything on a hard drive! After the fact, I later came to find out that depending on the scenario (with the hard drive), there is a company in the bay area that can retrieve "wiped" hard drives. It's good that you can look back on that situation and chuckle.Congratulations on your upcoming album! Awesome "ramble".

    From the first time I heard your playing,I thought you should have had your own music out. The first video I saw of yours was you playing "System"! Here's the wild part about this. My daughter danced in that super bowl with Beyonce. The one with them with the Afro wigs. She also went on tour with her. I am glad the you finally realized it. I have been trying to get her to make a video with music created just for dancers. Dance moves with their own music. Glad you heard your calling.

    Loved this story, had to listen to Prince's jam to understand how you managed that beat though. Been watching since Berklee, but hadn't checked up on you for awhile, Taylor. Great story this one about things falling into "God's" place, and not your own. Love this journey, because you're so humble and hard working. Welcome to my coast...God Bless you for going for it. Sometimes when we go into our practice mode, we find the way...God had to put Moses as a shepherd for 40 years before he became the leader of Israel out of slavery. You know your Bible, obviously. Couldn't happen to a nicer person as you appear to be. Hard work is worth the ups and downs, ask anyone who's done well in the biz. God is always there, waiting for us to just surrender ourselves. Look at you, you're here and working toward the goal He had planned all along. Take care and do that thing you do so well. Wow!
