TS Hartley: High energy sunshine pop.


TS Hartley grew up in Southern California and currently lives in Salt Lake City. His interest in the arts began at a young age with visual arts. At the age of 8 he began seriously studying drawing and painting and by early teens was selling his work to collectors.

After years of perfecting a visual style, he realized that music was the obvious next step. He jumped in full force, approaching music as he would a painting, layering sounds and melodies as he did with color and texture.

Taylor feels he brings the same passion, dedication, and creativity he puts into his paintings to music. Whilst always extremely passionate about music, he only first started experimenting with making his own at about the age of twelve. Soon thereafter joining his first band, playing bass guitar and keyboards, he quickly branched out to singing and playing any other instruments he could get his hands on.

He first entered the recording studio at fifteen, the same age that he had started seriously writing his own music and has been in love with the entire process ever since. After creating music on his own and honing an individual style of indie electro-pop songwriting for several years, Taylor met Nashville musician and producer Giles Reeves. They worked together on Giallo, an EP that was a mix of sunshine pop melodies, thoughtful lyrics, prominent percussion, electro synths, and acoustic instrumentation.

Taylor is currently finishing production of a full length album under the artist name Foreign Fix.
