During his first years in Toronto, as he persevered on his music, he also worked at several bars such as SOHO House and restaurants. He became a talented mixologist. Taylor was definitely a people person and he thrived in that environment. As Taylor made more contacts and gained experience in the music industry, he was lucky to travel to Nashville, New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Vancouver and even Hong Kong with various music projects.
