We recently connected with Taylor Carr and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Taylor thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you tell us about a time that your work has been misunderstood? Why do you think it happened and did any interesting insights emerge from the experience?

The main times I’ve felt misunderstood or mischaracterized as an artist come down to when people arbitrarily try to put only one style or label on me. I’m very intentional about not putting myself in a box, both creatively and in life, because I believe in pushing boundaries and exploring all that I’m capable of.

I use my platform to inspire others who have been told they can’t do something or that their potential is limited. That’s something I’ve experienced my whole life. My mindset has always boiled down to two statements: “Watch me do it” and “Be undeniable.” Whether it’s about the genres I make or the expectations placed on me, I take it as a challenge to work ten times harder and prove those assumptions wrong.

Taylor, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Music has always been a major part of my life. I come from a family deeply rooted in both sports and music. My grandfather James Carr was an R&B and soul singer. My dad, Antoine “Big Dawg” Carr, spent years in the NBA and also had a major presence in the music world. He ran a recording studio, DJed, sampled records, and played a few instruments. My mom, Denise “Coach T” Taylor, was a WNBA coach. She instilled in me a relentless work ethic and a mindset focused on discipline, preparation, and pushing myself beyond what’s expected. Between both of them, I grew up understanding the value of both creativity and consistency.

My brother Jayden and I started producing electronic music together at a young age. He’s incredibly talented with guitar and has a gift for creating cinematic songs that blend beautifully with EDM. We’ve always bounced ideas off each other and that helped me discover my own sound.

When I was younger, I listened to everything: rap, metal, emo, pop, and more. That mix of influences really shaped how I approach music. In high school, I discovered EDM through artists like Skrillex and Martin Garrix. That was the moment I realized I could turn all the ideas in my head into real, tangible audio experiences. It lit a fire in me.

Now I create high-energy electronic music under the name PRSM, specializing in bass-heavy genres like dubstep, trap, and hardstyle. But I love bending the rules. Whether it’s through my drums, melodies, or sound design, I try to pull in unexpected influences and hybridize sounds in a way that feels fresh and modern. I’m especially passionate about sound design, crafting audio that feels like it belongs in another world but still hits emotionally.

In the start of my creative journey, one of the most important people was my friend Ethan Capps, who I met in high school. He’s one of my biggest inspirations and constantly motivates me to keep evolving.

With my music, I want fans to feel like they’re stepping into a world that’s cinematic, emotional, and electrifying. At the same time, I want to show other artists and creatives, especially those who’ve been told they don’t fit the mold, that it’s okay to be different. That’s where the heart of my brand lives: in being bold, boundary-pushing, and undeniable.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

At the core of my creative journey is a mission to inspire people who have been told they don’t fit in or that they’re only allowed to exist within a certain box. I’ve felt that way plenty of times, like I had to be one thing or that expectations were already set for me. So a big part of what drives me is showing that you don’t have to limit yourself to anyone else’s vision of who you’re supposed to be.

Alongside that, I’m also proving something to myself. I want to keep pushing my own boundaries and keep evolving creatively. Every time I level up, it’s a reminder that the only limits are the ones we accept. And by doing that in public, I hope it lights a spark in other people who are trying to break out of the mold too.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

I started out by sharing original songs and DJ sets, which helped me lay the foundation for my identity as an artist. But what really started building a connection with people was when I mixed in more of my personality, like funny videos, memes, and storytelling. I’m a huge fan of anime, WWE, and sports, and I let that show through in my content. Whether it’s a music drop, a behind-the-scenes post, or a joke that ties into something I love, I want people to feel like they’re getting the full version of me. I realized early on that people don’t just connect with sound, they connect with the person behind it. So I make sure to bring that energy into everything I post. Whether I’m dropping a track or just having fun online, I want it to feel real and give people something they can vibe with on more than one level.

My biggest advice for anyone just starting to build their social media presence is to stop overthinking and just start posting. Don’t wait until you feel “ready” or until everything’s perfect. You get better by doing. Show your process, show your personality, and don’t be afraid to be a little unpolished. People connect with real energy more than flawless content.

Also, be consistent. That doesn’t mean you have to post every day, but stay active and let your audience grow with you. Use your interests to your advantage, whether it’s music, anime, sports, whatever makes you you, bring that into your content. It builds trust and makes your brand feel personal.

And finally, don’t worry if it feels slow at first. It’s supposed to. Stay patient, stay loud, and keep building your world one post at a time.
