Interview with Zac Taylor

Question: How would you describe Take Us Back?

Zac Taylor: It's catchy, Unique and reminds the listener of a moment in time when nothing else matters expect having fun and feeling like superman (Unstoppable) haha.


Question: What was the main inspiration behind Take Us Back?

Zac Taylor: We were all inspired by that special feeling our fans give us when we're on stage! That care free, Adrenalin pumping moment! But also that time in our life when we achieved our first Number One Single, that feeling is Indescribable.


Question: What was it like working with Vince Harder?

Zac Taylor: It's always a fun time, Very creative & never a dull moment. The 7 of us make a great team, lots of ideas to vibe off which always makes our creative process a lot faster than most, but obviously there is a whole lot more opinions going around which makes for great debates & entertainment sometimes haha.


Question: What have you learnt about yourself over the past two years?

Zac Taylor: I guess I have learnt that our chosen career path can take a toll on your body and your mind. That's why it is always good to surround yourself with positive people who will continue to push and guide you to success when you think you have come to a dead end.


Question: Which is your favourite boy band?

Zac Taylor: It would have to be NSYNC


Question: What do you like most about using social media to communicate with fans?

Zac Taylor: Its easy, fun and it allows your fans to be a bigger part of your life without being at your show, signing or even in your country.


Question: What is the biggest challenge you have faced along the way to your musical success?

Zac Taylor: We have had a lot of highlights and great moments as Titanium so far but we have also had a lot of set backs, challenges and downers while trying to succeed in music. It's all about your mind set and how you handle the opportunity that is presented to you. We just keep pushing through, no matter what the struggle is, rise up and "DU DA FANG" & stay true to ourselves as artist.

Question: What's a typical day like?

Zac Taylor: Wake up- Shower/ warm up the voice.. I don't usually open my eyes for a good 5 minutes, just ease in the sunlight....obviously put my clothes on and I'll start the day. Meet up with the boys, We plan our day and set out to do whatever needs to be done!-If we could just go to the movies and eat popcorn all day that would be awesome but reality is we need to practice, create and work on shows that people will love.


Question: What has been your favourite part of becoming a music artist?

Zac Taylor: Nothing is more rewarding than inspiring and making people happy through music. I love it and I think that will always keep me motivated to create new music and better myself as an artist.


Question: If you could collaborate with another artist, who would it be?

Zac Taylor: To many to choose from, Usher, Justin Bieber, 5sos, Justin Timberlake, Pharell, Beyonce, Michael buble... The list goes on but only time will tell ;)
