Tasha Taylor was fortunate to have a mega superstar parent to guide her through show business. As the youngest daughter of late R&B-Soul-Blues singer, Johnnie Taylor, she was able to travel to a myriad of his shows, developing a strong voice and picking up key advice. “My dad always told me that it was called show business for a reason. It’s 90% business and 10% show," she stated on her website. "If you don’t know your business…you’re in trouble!” Seems like the youngest Taylor is listening to her father. The Dallas, TX native, now based in Los Angeles, held the reins on her sophomore effort, Taylormade, which she arranged, produced, recorded and wrote on her own. Also, she was featured as an actress in television shows such as House and Ugly Betty. Now, she is set to tackle the role of Margie Hendrix in Unchain My Heart, a stage musical about the late Ray Charles. In between touring with Jim Belushi and Dan Akroyd for the Blues Brothers tour, she manages to find the time to woo her fans with soulful tunes at Santa Monica’s Casa Del Mar. – Nicole Dawley
