Sarah Taylor Young is an artist with substance. The Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter, musician, and inspirational speaker is also a wife and mother with a story to tell. Young was born and raised just outside of Nashville and grew up surrounded by music, which has shaped her life; who she is today and setting the stage for what is yet to come.
Early on, Young’s parents divorced, causing her to divide her time spent with her mother and father. She recalls music being a part of her life for as long as she can remember. Her father, Bobby Taylor is a Grammy-nominated songwriter who penned hits for Country superstars Montgomery Gentry and Diamond Rio just to name a few. Young remembers as early as age 6, being the very first one to hear her father’s songs before the rest of the world would hear them on their Country radio stations. She learned a lot from her father. By the time she was 12, she was writing her own songs on the clarinet and by age 13, Young taught herself how to play the flute, violin, guitar, and piano. She also recorded her very first demo for her father, which she notes as one of her favorite childhood memories. In her autobiographical song, “In The Music,” Young sings, “Daddy gave me a guitar, I learned to play. Just three chords, a pen, a pad, now every day I thank God for the music. It made me who I am and changed my life.”
