We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Lou Taylor. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Lou below.

Alright, Lou thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?

In hindsight, I do wish I started my creative career earlier. That being said, I began singing and writing in elementary school. But, I began to perform publicly in high school. As a child and growing into my adult years, I was very insecure about my gift of music and shied away from the mic. In allowing fear and comparison to be the driver to releasing and doing music boldy along with my introverted ways. It stunted my growth, daringness connections, and the overall thought of ” I could be here by now, had I” mentality. What I would change and wish I did sooner was who I allowed in my circle. Those around can either encourage and push you even when you can’t for yourself, versus individual who are ok with you being dormant – not going anywhere, because it can pose as a threat to them, or because they simply don’t want better for themself.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m Lou. I’m a music artist who simultaneously puts her hands to real estate and interior designs with short-term rentals. Music being my first passion, I’ve done so since elementary school days, songwriting at recess, and singing for a room full of barbies and bears to singing at arenas and sold out tours for known artists as BGVs. My music isn’t for everyone. It’s for those who need a reminder that life is worth living and to pursue purpose at any cost. My style of writing is for the person who knows life can be hard but believes it can and will be better. I released a project in 2022 called “Nude,” 5 songs about the emotional, mental, relational, spiritual, and financial parts of life we all deal with. To date, this has been my most proud accomplishment. As more is coming this year in music, I encourage you to subscribe or follow my social media.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Some things were never .meant for you to tackle on your own. Many visionaries are graced with the ability to see and create, but less often, can they execute all that’s needed to bring the vision to life. In some cultures, more than others, independence is something to strive for yet can be easily misguided. I fell into the beguile of this at a young age, from social influences and ideas. Even songs were created about independence, creating the thought that this was how success is achieved. This plagued my mentality toward partnership, collaborations, and working in teams to accomplish something greater beyond me. I had to unlearn the idea of being and doing everything to get something done. Just as society has ralleyed around partnering and working together, I’ve come to a place of understanding that teamwork really makes the dream work. Each person has a function, just like a body, to perform at its optimal best.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

My goal is to create life music. Real music that shares hope in our day-to-day living. An extra dose of encouragement, a reminder to the listener that there is something to look forward to at the end of all we face. My mission is to share the gift that was given to me to benefit those who hear. I’m called to serve and gifted to sing to make Jesus famous.
