Taylor Hart is a passionate hip hop head born and raised in the Seattle area. She attended her first concert while still in her mother’s womb, and hasn’t stopped going since. Her parents lulled her to sleep to the sounds of Warren G, and raised her on a diet of Chicken and Beer. You can usually find her in a cantina behind a trio of tacos, and a shot of tequila blanco. If the barstool is empty she’s probably out digging in a crate of 99 cent vinyl, or scoping event calendars at all the local venues.
