red book  Bio

Taylor Giacoma is an American singer-songwriter and pianist who writes pop music with musical theatre vibes for sensitive, nerdy people. She is also a choral conductor, arranger, tutor, and the founder of Semitone Studios in Greater Manchester.

Her songs are often mistaken for something from a musical and are about everything from love and loss to cataclysmic magnetic stars, time dilation, and fourth century saints.

Recently overheard at a gig: "She's like a Disney princess that sings about proper stuff."

Taylor is also a keen runner with the Marple Runners and an active member of her local Quaker community.
