Let Taylor Mathews lift your Monday morning up with his latest video for 'Heart On Fire', released this weekend. The track itself is irresistibly catchy and radiates nothing but happiness - drop your heartbreak playlist and throw this on. It has a whole lot of heart, a story line, and the right melody to get you dancing. Taylor's strong vocals paired with a wonderfully expressive chord progression blend and turn into the joyful masterpiece that is 'Heart On Fire'. If you look closely, you might recognize the elegant dancer that is seen prancing around the natural environment shown in the video. Jennifer Pappas, known for her appearance on The Next Step, enchants Taylor in his quest for love.
We've been highly awaiting more from this undeniably likable singer/songwriter. The video for 'Heart On Fire' has only.. set our hearts on fire even more. For now, we will bask in this video and continue to anticipate what's next. - Next2Shine

LOUISIANA-BRED ACOUSTIC SINGER/SONGWRITER WITH SOUL
2010 AMERICA’S GOT TALENT TOP TEN FINALIST
Five years and many experiences later...the 24-year-old singer/songwriter is beginning to sink his teeth into success as an independent artist.
In 2011, Taylor released his first EP, Head Over Feeling, which debuted in the top 40 of the iTunes album chart selling over 10,000 singles. He has a dedicated, growing fanbase including over 13,000 Twitter followers and 11,000 Facebook fans. The music video for Head Over Feeling was featured on Vevo’s home page and generated 100,000 views in one day. It also received heavy TV rotation on Canada’s Family Channel.
In the spring of 2013, Taylor completed his second tour as direct support for Disney’s R5 band for 2 1/2 months throughout the U.S. and Canada. After the tour, he successfully funded a $26,000 Kickstarter campaign to record his first full-length record titled Do What You Want To. He wrote and recorded with Grammy-winning producers and songwriters to craft the album which was released on December 2nd, 2013 and debuted at #6 on the iTunes album chart. It also garnered generous airplay on over 120 college radio stations.
In January of last year, after the success of the Head Over Feeling video, Taylor filmed his second video for the album title track Do What You Want To. This video also aired generously on the Family Channel. As a thank you, Taylor embarked on a 6 month/130 show tour across the US & Canada to play in the homes of fans that donated to the Kickstarter campaign.
In October, with his fans in mind, he created a unique touring experience called The Hotel Party Tour modeled after the music video. The tour lasted 12 weeks and will continue for another 8 weeks this spring after he spends 2 months in the studio writing and recording new music. His new record is slated for a February, 2016 release.
