Tayla Parx, a three-time GRAMMY Award-nominated artist, singer, songwriter, and boundary breaker, has been creating a space for her listeners to come as they are in a pastel-hued realm where gender and genre blur, and expectations, constraints, and rules fade away.
Born in Dallas, Tayla started her journey in the music industry by making a mark behind the scenes as a songwriter, penning hits for notable artists such as Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Meghan Trainor, Ariana Grande, Janelle Monáe, Nicki Minaj, Prince Royce, and BTS.
As an actress, Tayla has appeared in various television shows and films, including Hairspray, True Jackson, VP, and The Walking Dead, as well as video game franchises like Sims. Her work has been featured in prominent publications such as Vogue, NYLON, Highsnobiety, and Billboard.
Tayla's major label debut project, WE NEED TO TALK [Tayla Made/Atlantic Records], has been highly anticipated since the release of the ethereal single "Runaway" [feat. Khalid], which gained over 9 million Spotify streams within a few months. The follow-up single "Me vs. Us" has also received praise from critics, with Complex and Refinery29 being among the publications to highlight the song.
WE NEED TO TALK is more than just a collection of songs; it's a message-driven project that tackles topics such as gender fluidity and the complexities of relationships. "Slow Dancing" explores gender fluidity, while "I Want You" humorously delves into the problem of falling for multiple people at once.
With WE NEED TO TALK, Tayla Parx is poised to be the topic of conversation for a long time to come, as she continues to push boundaries and challenge expectations in the music industry.
