Taylor Upsahl has been surrounded by music since she was in the womb. The 16-year-old Phoenix singer-songwriter grew up with bands, as her father, Mike Upsahl, has played in Valley groups since the ’90s. There was always a rotating cast of professional musicians going in and out of the family’s home. Taylor has taken advantage of the music in her blood, as the Arizona Academy of the Arts junior already has headlined Crescent Ballroom and played venues such as Last Exit Live and Lost Leaf. Her poppy indie-folk tracks transcend her teenage years, with catchy melodies and lyrics relatable to all ages.
