Bio
Like the part man, part machine allusions of his nickname, producer-performer-composer Stefon “Bionik” Taylor feels at home in both acoustic and electronic realms. He sings, plays guitar, bass, drums, and percussion, while writing and recording all of his own sample-free music. As a producer of electronic soundscapes, his recent live performances have taken him to Electric Forest, Summer Camp, Sonic Bloom, Arise, Imagine, and Backwoods music festivals as well as Minneapolis’ First Avenue, Los Angeles’ Low End Theory, and Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory.
Over the course of his career, Taylor has composed, arranged, and collaborated on hip-hop, trap, dancehall, soul and funk records with classic and contemporary artists ranging from Phil Collins to Lizzo. He’s made singer/songwriter John Martyn's voice sound like a horn, hip-hop trio Far East Movement's first single a radio smash, and rapper Ice-T's lyrics chopped and screwed. He’s been in the studio with legendary producers like George Martin (The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix) and Peter Mokran (R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, The Flaming Lips). His original compositions and productions have been featured by the likes of Fast and Furious, Insecure, NBA 2K, Showtime Boxing, Lincoln Motor Company, Love (Netflix), Tanqueray, MTV, Amazon and many more.
Reflecting on his musical perspective and process, Taylor says, “People want to hear the sounds of their generation—the sirens and angular synth sounds that are a part of their chaotic, fast-paced existence. I want to supply the soundtrack for everyday moments in their lives.”
