Electronic pop has a rich history. The genre came to life in the 80s, with most electronic music artists finding their way to the mainstream. Most electronic pop artists operated as bands with few solo artists. The reason behind this trend back then might not be evident, but it changed as the sound evolved. Many modern-day electronic pop artists are dominating the airwaves with electrifying releases and performances. Among the first rising talents is Taylan, a uniquely talented pop star blending the boundaries of electronic pop.
Taylan is a gifted songwriter, producer, and performer. He has taken over the genre with his unique, daring personality to make electronic music that stands out in the industry. From a young age, Taylan has always admired the crazy, elegant, sexy, and nostalgic sounds of electronic music, and these are aspects he has incorporated into his own music. He makes captivating, thrilling, and electrifying music with sweet melodies and bass lines.
Taylan’s passion and love for music started at a young age. As a kid, he was already fascinated with the electronic pop sound. He loved making mash-up songs without even having any equipment. Though they were not the best songs he would like to be identified with, he still found the tracks interesting back then, and he ended up listening to them all day long. However, he eventually dropped his musical journey and focused on his studies. He ended up in the medical world, practicing as a surgeon.
The surgeon-turned-artist is swiftly making his presence known on the scene. He has already gathered a loyal fanbase with over 25,000 monthly Spotify listeners. He’s also making great industry moves, having recently signed a recording deal with Steyoyoke Recordings and Space Tale Records for his upcoming tracks. Taylan has also hinted at working on other promising projects, including a collaboration album that will showcase other electronic music talents.
Though highly passionate about his musical talent, Taylan says many restrictions are set for different genres within electronic dance music. Such limitations make it difficult for artists like him who try to be different. Breaking these boundaries has been his greatest challenge, but he has remained resilient to become successful.
Taylan is a strong believer in Arsene Wenger’s words: “I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art.” With this in mind, Taylan is continually working hard to bring his best game to the table. He dreams of playing at major events and festivals, with Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival at the top of his list. His long-term goal is to collaborate with the talented Nora En Pure on multiple records and work with Purified Records and Armada Music.
Taylan also challenges other artists to work hard to make their dreams a reality. To him, everybody has the potential to become whoever they want to be, provided they put in the hard work. The secret is to live to dream and not to dream to live.
