Tony Taylor

Being raised on Rock music in Ireland and the Isle of Man, Tony has in one way or another been involved with the music scene internationally since his teenage years. After coming to live in France in 1993, he has written for several music publications, most notably the Country Rock & American Lifestyle magazine, Dreamwest, for which he spent five years as the International Artistic Director. Despite being a member of the Country Music
Association for over 12 years, and his considerable involvement with Nashville's New Wave Country Rock scene, he has never lost his love of Rock & Pop music, in particular the music of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s!
In 2014, he became the Director of Industry and Artist Relations with HorizonVU Music, which was dedicated to helping female singer/songwriters find their way in the music
industry.
Passionate about music, film, TV, and environmental issues, his favorite catch-phrase is "In an entertainment Industry that's like a sea full of sharks, we are the dolphins!"
In 2020, Tony embarked on a private project with some Danish friends in Wallbreaker Media to coproduce a Web TV series that highlights international singer/songwriters, whilst at the same time helping to put the spotlight on french history, culture, and cuisine.
With this in view, a pre-pilot video has already been filmed in the famous Kronborg Castle (Elsinore in Shakespeare's Hamlet) in Denmark, and once sufficient finance has been raised, the pilot itself will be filmed in one of France's most famous châteaux in the Loire Valley.
This, hopefully, will be followed by 12 more episodes to create a 'Tour de France' of châteaux called Castles, Chords & Cuisine!
In late 2021, in response to the limitations caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, Tony began work on a new and exciting audiovisual project called Rockin Veggie Kitchen, which aims to combine french organic vegetarian/vegan gastronomy and bio beverages with the music of invited guest international singer songwriters & zany comedy! He is alsoworking on a musical based on the struggles of a Parisian restaurant during the Covid-19 lockdowns called 'Les Âmes de Paname!'
Tony is a fervent environmentalist and a member of Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project’s Leadership Corps.
In early 2022, as a freelancer, he joined the team of 3ec-TV to further the cause of environmentalism, free speech, and equality in the world.
In late 2023, he wrote a screenplay based on his family's links to the 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland and international geopolitics, and is looking for a producer/producers to work with him to develop the project.
