Taylor Abrahamse (born May 7, 1991) is a Canadian singer/songwriter, educator, and actor - most known for his music, 'Fangbone!', 'The Stanley Dynamic', and 'Doc'.
Life and career
After begging his parents for an agent at the age of 6, he began landing numerous commercials in TV & radio, as well as print. Soon, this transitioned over into supporting TV movie & series roles, including Jimmy Osmond in the ABC biopic Inside the Osmonds, & Eliott in PAX TV's Doc, a series starring Billy Ray Cyrus for which Taylor was nominated for a Young Actor's Award for 'Best Performance In A Supporting Role'. Taylor also played 'Cinco', in the Ross Petty pantomime 'Snow White & The Group Of Seven', acting and singing alongside with Canadian Idols including Ryan Malcolm & Billy Klippert, and Glass Tiger frontman Alan Frew.
Once a finalist on Canadian Idol, Taylor has performed across Ontario & writes, produces and performs songs that garner millions of views for Youtube's 'Super Planet Dolan'. Taylor also wrote the music & lyrics for 'The Beaver Den: A New Canadian Musical', who, although only 24 as of this summary, already has a vast resume. Taylor is co-owner/operator of Silverthorn Studios, a professional recording facility, one half of the acclaimed duo Taylor & Bryn (who won the Landmark Events Showcase Competition out of hundreds of performers, winning prizes valued at over $20,000), co-creator/manager of the acclaimed songwriting workshop The Song Creation Workshop, contributor to the workshop's best-selling book The Song Creation Formula.
Taylor's voice can be heard around the world in a variety of television properties, such as the lead character in the self-titled series Fangbone! (Disney XD), which after a multi-award-winning pilot episode, will begin airing worldwide in 2016, and also features a theme song written by Taylor and performed by Peter Driemanis of Juno-winning group July Talk. Taylor can also be heard as Luke Stanley in YTV's The Stanley Dynamic (Nelvana/Amaze), filming its second season as of early 2016,[1] a series that requires Taylor on-set four to five days a week to bring the animated character to life through his body as well as his voice. Taylor has played a lead character in more than five television properties, others including Luis in The Future Is Wild (Discovery Kids), Yuki in Beyblade: Metal Fury (Cartoon Network), and Jonas in Bob! The Slob (Teletoon), in addition to many supporting roles.
