Calvin Taylor is a singer/songwriter based in Houston, TX.  He is the youngest son of platinum-selling blues balladeer Johnnie Taylor and gospel songbird Benita Arterberry.  Mixed with a smooth, smokey baritone reminiscent of his father’s sensuous serenades and the soul-stirring inspirations of his mother’s heartfelt hymns, Calvin Taylor embodies the best in rhythm and blues from the past and present. 

Born in Dallas and raised by his mother, young Calvin grew up in a musical household. Before he was even thought of, his mother was singing background for his pops. But by the time their bouncing baby boy came along, the couple had split up. And while Johnnie was busy selling out shows around the world, Benita was securing a career as a much-respected gospel singer.

Not only were both of his parents famous, but his surrogate aunts and uncles were such superstars as 1980s Billboard-charting R&B duo Yarbrough & Peoples and platinum-selling funk band Lakeside. Being raised around some of music’s royalty, Calvin was groomed and destined for greatness.

In high school he began recording his own music and cultivating his craft. Over the years, he has released several regionally popular songs such as “All In All Out,” “Nose Wide Open” featuring Omar Cunningham, and “Misty Blue,” as well as albums Just A Piece and R&B Love.
