Taylor Nigel John is a famous British musician. He plays the bass, for a long time performed in the famous English band Duran Duran.
Biography
The future musician was born in June 1960 on the twentieth day in the small British town of Solihull. After his birth, the family moved to Warwickshire, where young Taylor began to receive an education. Since the family was religious, the boy was sent to Our Lady of the Westside Catholic School, and he also attended Redditch Abbey High School. The boy had big vision problems, which is why he was forced to wear big glasses. In general, few could imagine that a pop star and an idol of millions of girls would grow out of a small "nerd".
In his school years, he was very keen on militaristic themes, loved to play various war games, and also collected soldiers. Already closer to graduation, John became interested in music. One of Taylor's favorite bands is Roxy music. The music was so captured by the young men that he began to independently master the playing of the piano. Soon he gathered the first musical group, which was called Shock Treatment, but the group did not last long.
Music career
In 1978, John Taylor and his school friend Nick Rhodes decided to create their own musical group. Despite the great popularity of hard rock in Britain in those years, the guys decided to play music in the style of pop music and a new wave. The name of the group was inspired by the experience of watching the science fiction film "Barbarella."
The unusual sound of the group, punk style of clothing and regular performances at concerts very quickly brought "Duran Duran" popularity. Just five years after its founding, the group gathered thousands of rooms. By the mid-eighties, the group went beyond the borders of their native Britain and became world famous. This success was largely facilitated by the fact that Duran Duran were almost the first in the world to actively shoot videos for their hits. Energetic and melodic videos were played on many television channels of the world, and in those years there were practically no people who had never heard of this British team.
In the nineties, the group continued to grow into an army of fans, but in the mid-nineties Taylor left the group for personal reasons. After a protracted absence, he returned in 2003 and today continues to perform independently.
