Raised in Santa Barabara, CA, producer Nick Taylor's inroads to the music industry began as Tour Manager for Thomas Jack. Experiencing the soul and tropical sounds of similar touring artists, he began to soak in the feel-good tropical music. After touring he moved on to managing artists and helping produce RHA Festival in Puerto Vallarta, MX, as the Marketing Director. Over his time living in Denver, Taos, Santa Barbara, and Puerto Vallarta, the soul of the desert and beach made its mark on his musical tastes. Bringing together the sounds of the bass, horns, sax, and strings, he transports listeners to the place that transcends the day-to-day and makes you want to move and groove. Keep an eye out for Dos Mentes in Honolulu, Hawaii at his show The Altar showcasing at Aether Afterhours. When not in Hawaii, you can catch him playing locally around West Los Angeles with a residency at Joliet in Playa Vista.
