Denise Taylor

Captivated by the soulful depth and pulsing vitality of African-American gospel music, Denise Taylor harbored a dream from an early age to touch hearts with her voice and bring hope through music. As a soul singer and songwriter with academic training in Los Angeles and Stuttgart, touring experience with renowned gospel groups, and participation in the André Rieu World Tour 2023, she now stands on stage with her own music, realizing that very dream.

Her vision is to celebrate the beauty of diversity in all its forms and place humanity as a bridge for understanding at the center of attention. With her four-piece band - keys, guitar, bass, and drums - the artist showcases primarily songs from her debut album Phoenix, which will be released in spring 2027. In an increasingly polarized society where debates about migration, gender, and identity are often marked by black-and-white thinking, Phoenix stands as a tribute to diversity and a musical call for empathy and dialogue.

The concert is part of the BlackForestJazz Festival!
