Q&A with Taylor Hill

Q: Your journey has been incredible—from Queens to LA, from songwriter to producer. How did it all start?

Q: “MADHOUSE” is such an intriguing title. What inspired this project?
Taylor Hill: “'MADHOUSE' is about chaos and clarity existing together. It’s inspired by the ups and downs of the creative process, the industry, and life itself. It’s raw, honest, and unfiltered.”

Q: You’ve worked with legends like Justin Bieber and Summer Walker. What’s been the most rewarding collaboration so far?
Taylor Hill: “Every collaboration teaches me something new, but working with Summer Walker on 'Clear 2' was special. She has this vulnerability in her voice that makes every lyric hit deeper.”

Q: What do you want listeners to take away from 'MADHOUSE'?
Taylor Hill: “I want people to embrace the messiness of life. We’re all navigating some version of a madhouse, and there’s beauty in that chaos.”

Q: What’s next for Taylor Hill?
Taylor Hill: “More music, more storytelling, and maybe even stepping in front of the mic myself. I’m just getting started.”
