During her pre-teen years, Taylor found passion in many professions and decided to pursue them all, which is why she attended multiple talent competitions. Among one of those is the Apollo Theater National talent search, which she was unable to qualify for or win.
In the 2000s, inspired by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, Janet Jackson, Brandy, Michale Jackson, and Toni Braxton, Teyana became a singer. At the age of 15, she was credited as the choreographer of Beyonce’s hit single “Ring the Alarm”.
Around the same time, besides her early recordings, her dancing and songwriting abilities impressed the record producer Pharrell Williams who signed her to his Star Trek Entertainment imprint (through Interscope Records).

In November 2014, she released her debut album VII, which was met with positive reviews and even topped a US Billboard chart. A few years later, after starring in multiple films, television series, and realities, the artist released her second album called K.T.S.E.
