Mams Taylor is a British boxing promoter, talent manager, and musician.[1] He is the President/CEO of Proper Loud and Co-President of Misfits Boxing.

Music career

[edit]

Taylor's song "LA Girls" featuring Joel Madden of Good Charlotte was featured on the MTV show, The Hills.[2] In addition to Taylor, the music video for "LA Girls" also stars UFC champion Quinton Jackson, Mila Kunis, and Carmen Electra.[3]

A later single of Taylor's called "Girls Gotta Girlfriend" featured Snoop Dogg, and Bobby Valentino was inspired by the openness about female bisexuality in Hollywood.[4]

In May 2013, Taylor teamed up with producer Ben Rico and formed the production/writing duo called Feelabeat. They produced and wrote a single for Carmen Electra, titled "Bigger Dick".[5]

"United for Neda"

[edit]

Taylor wrote and produced "United for Neda", which is a protest song recorded in English and Persian versions by many famous Iranian expatriates. It was inspired by the plight of Neda Agha-Soltan, a 26-year-old Iranian woman who was fatally shot on the streets of Tehran on 20 June 2010 by the Basij. Her death was recorded on a mobile phone video and received international attention when it hit the Internet.[6]

Taylor invested one million dollars into Lady Gaga's career before she had commercially released any music and worked closely with her team as part of Coalition and Atom Factory. However, it ended up in a dispute which appears to have been settled.[7]

Taylor has written, produced and collaborated with a wide range of notable artists, such as Tiësto, Good Charlotte, Travis Barker, Robbie Williams, Rico Love, Billy Idol, T-Pain, Lil' Kim, The Game, Papa Roach, Snoop Dogg, Rodney Jerkins, Scott Storch, Dave Navarro, among others.[8]

In May 2013, Taylor teamed up with producer Ben Rico and formed the production/writing duo called Feelabeat. They produced and wrote a single for Carmen Electra, titled "Bigger Dick".[5]

Taylor executive produced former Pussycat Doll Jessica Sutta's debut album, which charted in numerous territories and also achieved two number-ones on the Billboard Dance charts.[9] [10]

Taylor executive produced KSI's debut album Dissimulation, which debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and reached the charts in 13 other countries.[11] He also executive produced KSI's sophomore album All Over The Place, which charted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart and two songs from the album were nominated at The Brit Awards for song of the year.
