Steph Taylor

BIO
The State Of is the product of Steph Taylor's edgy piano/synth playing and Nabedi Osorio's electronic-like live drumming. Their dark pop sensibility is born out of their hometown of Miami, FL. Their songs are a juxtaposition of dark and light, playing music that is melancholy and minor but to a fun and danceable beat. When coupled, they create a dynamic sound larger than what's expected out of two people.



PRESS QUOTES
"The bespectacled duo The State Of, made up of vocalist/pianist Steph Taylor and vocalist/drummer Nabedi Osorio, mixes tough and breathy vocals with potent piano work and intricate drumming that sometimes evokes a less hectic, though no less quick, drum-and-bass approach to percussion. They're fun, but serious; dark, but not gloomy." -Broward New Times
"The massive appeal of the State Of comes simply from variety."-Miami New Times



" South Florida duo the State Of likes to keep pop tunes dark but upbeat. The ladies crank eerily pretty arrangements on the keys and back them with big, electroniclike live drums for a Tori Amos meets LCD Soundsystem effect." -Tampa Bay Times
