Taylor Hanson was born March 14, 1983. He was born in Jenks Oklahoma and was greeted by his proud parents, Walker and Diana, and a big brother Isaac who was 3 at the time.
He know has 3 sisters named Jessica, Avery, and Zoe. And he has 3 brothers named Mackenzie, aka Mackie, Ike and Zac. He has lived all over the world, since his father works for an oil company. He was influenced by early rock and roll music, espacially Billy Joel and Aretha Franklin. Ike and Tay started harmonizing when they were younger, singing "Amen" after the family had said grace. When Zac was old enough, he started singing too. They performed in Tulsa at the Blue Rose Cafe, but since that is a bar, they weren't old enough to get in!! But they sang a capella outside. They picked up instruments(Ike guitar, Tay keyboards, and Zac drums) and performed for the town a week later. Their mother became sort of their agent, booking places for them to perform. They got together and decided to release and independent record, "Boomerang". They went to Hollywood and worked with the Hudson brothers for awhile. And in 1997 Mercury Records released the single "MMMbop" by Hanson. In March, "Middle of Nowhere" was released, another album by Hanson. In May, "MMMbop" hit the top of the charts, and stayed there. "MMMbop" number 1 on the Billboard charts and Middle of Nowhere was ranked #2 album in the world! And that is how they became Hanson.
