Taylor Golonka born in Chicago then moved to Arizona because his parents got divorced and he started getting in trouble so his mom decided to move west. Coming from the city to a small town he grabbed early on to sports and hobbies. I figured coming from a poor family that sports would be the only answer to get me out of my situation. So he played basketball, football, and baseball in Highschool. Taylor then took his basketball skills to the next level. He remembers practicing so many hours and wanting it so bad that alot of practices would end up with tears in his eyes because he wanted it so bad. It eventually got him a basketball scholarship which paid for his college. And after college he went overseas to play basketball in France on a traveling team. But growing up sports was just the beginning of finding his talents. Growing up in junior high was the breakdancing era so Taylor grabbed on to the whole flavor and banged the parachute pants and started his own breakin crews. He did many competitions. In the meantime he was still involved in skateboarding where he built a half pipe in his back yard and also competed in competitions. During college he then bought his own turntables so he can learn how to DJ. Well he did and began to do his thing. After he did thousands of gigs and was a DJ for various rap groups he now wanted to learn how to make music. So he did. Taylor bought his own equipment and began making beats and here is the rest of the story: After a short period of time, Taylormade has made a reputation for himself as one of the hottest music producers in L.A.
