Mike Taylor

You've almost certainly screamed a Mike Taylor hook in a festival crowd, even if you didn't know his name. He’s the go-to vocal powerhouse for EDM titans like Afrojack, lending his gospel-tinged belt to world-conquering anthems like “Glow In The Dark” and “SummerThing!” But look past the mainstage and you’ll find the Grammy-nominated songwriter who co-penned Aloe Blacc’s massive hit “The Man.” His own solo material pulls away from the rave, channeling a raw, funk-forward energy into tracks like “Body High.” It’s the sound of a secret weapon stepping into the spotlight, trading the four-on-the-floor drop for the groove.
