Taylor Hanson Biography, Age, Height, Weight, Family, Wiki & More

At a young age, Taylor and his brothers, Isaac and Zac, discovered their father's rock 'n' roll album collection and became interested in music. The boys would walk around the house singing, later picking up instruments that they found in thrift stores. Taylor was drawn to the piano. The three brothers formed a band and began to play everywhere they could, including parties, state fairs and café parking lots. While the boys played these small venues, their mother would sell Hanson's independently released first album, Boomerang.

 

Taylor Hanson's contract with Greenberg and Mercury Records included a six-album deal. Their first studio album with a major label, Middle of Nowhere, was released in 1997. Middle of Nowhere featured their platinum and Grammy Award-nominated single "MMMBop," along with the Top 10 hits "I Will Come to You" and "Where's the Love." Hanson's follow-up to Middle of Nowhere was Snowed In, which also sold platinum and went Top 10. In 2000, the brothers released This Time Around, which went gold. The band has continued to record albums but has not been able to replicate the success of their first effort.

 

In 2009, Taylor formed the supergroup band Tinted Windows, which brought together former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger and Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos. Hanson and his brothers celebrated their band's 21st anniversary in 2013 by releasing their own beer, "Mmmhops."
