Meet Me
Welcome to my library!
Take a seat, pour a cup of tea, and flip through the pages.
My name is Tayman. I am many things. A vocalist, a writer, a producer, an engineer, a teacher. But above all, I am an artist. A being unapologetically living in my creativity. I explore, question, and ponder.
My music is about the voice. The mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of discovering your voice and the complex human connection that comes from it. Whatever that means to you.
I strive to inspire others to create. To wake up to their own strength and power. To find the balance between their masculine and feminine. To nourish themselves and their community. Less consumption, more creation.
Who I Am
In the journey of finding my voice, I stumbled across the moon garden. A place where the culture is creation, introspection, and having a great time doing it. Finding the balance of nourishing the mind, body, and soul. Asking where does true progress come from, and what does that mean.
We are constantly obsessed with achieving perfection. Perfection is un-human. It'’s a made up destination. Perfection means there is nothing else to grow or change. The end of growth is the beginning of death. I have no interest in dying early, being stagnant, or grinding myself into the ground for something that doesn't even exist. The pursuit of perfection keeps people miserable.
We think if we can't be perfect then what's the point. So we do nothing at all. We must fall in love with progress, growth. Motion is good for our body just as it is for our soul. Keep grooving along. Of course, don't forget to rest too. And enjoy the present you have created for yourself. In fact the more you can groove with your present moment the more the future will flow.
I stumbled across this place when I decided to go on an adventure to heal the relationship I had with myself. I was practically mute. I didn't dare sing for anyone. I was alone. Kept my thoughts and feelings wrapped tightly. I was obsessed with trying to prove my worth to gain validation from people I didn't even know. I was so afraid of rejection from said, nameless, people that I was too scared to even try and get it the validation..
Finding The Moon Garden
A brief history of myself and my education. I fell in love with music at the age of three when I started piano. Elton John was my idol.
This journey took me to community theater, local choirs, and private voice lessons. By high school I was attending Baltimore School for the Arts, was a soloist for the GRAMMY award winning Peabody Children's Chorus, a student at The Tanglewood Institute of Boston University and a part of the Peabody Preparatory Program at Johns Hopkins University.
I had the pleasure of working with The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, The Baltimore Opera Company, The Boston Pops Conducted by John Williams, and The Boston Symphony Orchestra. I was even the Musical Director of Children's Theatre at The Carroll Arts Council.
For college, I spent my first year at Ithaca Conservatory as a voice principal. Then I transferred to Berklee College of Music where I earned my degree studying Music Production and Engineering, Contemporary Writing Production, and Sound Design as a voice principal.
