Barry Hudson-Taylor

Born and raised in a little hamlet about 40 minutes north of Manchester,UK, music has always been a big part of Barry Hudson-Taylor. It started with singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” ( seriously) in an audition to be part of the Blackburn Cathedral Music School in the early 2000s, a place Barry eventually called home for over 12 years, absorbing everything from Brahms to Bach, Handel to Mozart. Chorales, Symphonies and everything in between. From there, he found the piano. In 2012, he went on to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Production from Leeds Conservatoire, and had the pleasure of working under the tutelage of some of the industry’s most respected professionals, from engineers straight out of Abbey Road Studios, to friends and colleagues who taught Barry the fundamental values of navigating through the turbulent waters of the music industry. While he’s always strives for perfection within his recordings, he also learnt to embrace the imperfections. The subtle sound of hammers hitting strings, or piano keys clinking against one another in the quieter sections of a piece, these human blemishes are quietly, but distinctively a part of BHT’s music. And in the here and now, if he’s not crafting melodies for solo piano projects, you can often find Barry’s work accompanying shows on Netflix, National Geographic, BBC & various other media outlets.
