I couldn’t be more excited to bring you this awesome giveaway of Father [& Mother] by Taylor Maxwell! I first met Taylor and his beautiful wife, Brittany, when they came over to S. Africa in 2007. We always looked forward to their visits every year when they would bring a team and build a home for orphans. Taylor has just released a collection of songs titled Father [& Mother], and it’s fantastic! It’s one of those albums that you find yourself playing over and over. As you listen to Taylor’s strong voice and the depth of his lyrics, there’s a longing to sit and chat with him and hear the story behind each song. Click

What inspired you to become a musician?
I have always had this desire to embrace hard things in life creatively,
and the best way I know how to do that is through music. Music has always found a way in for me and helped me process my life. It always compels me to dream a bit higher and love a bit deeper. I figured I would try my hand at opening that door for others to walk through as well.
What inspired you to put together the collection of songs for Father [& Mother]?
I felt like it was time for me to put my self out there in a different way than I ever had before. A way that was more honest than I have before. In the past, songs have sort of been an agenda, or forced a bit. This time I just took songs from different points of my life and let them grow within the context of the studio with the other guys in there recording. There is a personal theme of sonship and parenthood that sort of inspired a lot of these songs… Sometimes I’m reaching out for advice, sometimes I am giving it.
What’s your favorite part about writing and playing music?
The best part about writing and playing music is that I mostly get to experience it with other people I really care about. I can write about what matters to me, and I can flesh out songs through collaboration with other people. It’s also pretty cool to see someone else’s eyes light up when they hear something you have created, and you can tell they really went to that place themselves and discovered something new…
