DRAKExTAYLOR (Drake Taylor) is a powerhouse (writing and producing since age 14 and performing since age 3) and a threat to music as we know it today. After growing up in the era of the pop-fusion sound, he frequently blends Hyperpop/PC Music with R&B and Pop music. This genre-blended approach pushes the notion of what is acceptable in pop music, describing his music as "Commercial" consisting mainly of Pop, R&B, and Hyperpop. In 2020, he released his first demo mixtape, HyperWRLD (2020), started at age 14, noted for its vivid sonic atmosphere, and drawing comparison to works by industry innovators Imogen Heap and Björk. A year later, he released Lost and Found - Digital Anarchy Remix (2021), ending the Rrebel era early, due to artistic evolution. Roadie Music describes Rrebel as "a bold proposal to rescue the Electropop Hits from the late '00s and early '10s that changed music as we see it today." In Summer of 2021 he began releasing singles, slowly transitioning from Indie Teen Pop Creator to Mature R&B/Pop Innovator. Recently, he has released R&B heavier projects, like Beg for It. He has also recently released Anthemic-Hyperpop-Bangers, such as Nothing Compares to You, acclaimed for its "ear-worm hook-ability" and Adrenaline. He has teamed with various artists, including Slim Spitta on That Way (That's It) and RYL0 on "ear-scraping" Business (Dummy). His style is frequently categorized as heavy-handed and hook-heavy. His vocal style is known for its range in both tone and approach, making him a name for his versatility as a performer over everything else. He has teamed with various artists such as Slim Spitta on Aaliyah inspired That Way (That's It) and RYL0 on "ear-scraping" Business. He cites various influences, such as Gwen Stefani, 6lack, Ty Dolla $ign, Timbaland, Aaliyah, Tinashe, SoFaygo and Kehlani. He frequently utilizes the Y2K/Vaporwave aesthetic in his visuals. He uses genre blending, a technique used by a new generation of artists, describing his genre simply as "Commercial" consisting mainly of Pop, R&B, and Hyper-Pop. His production and vocal style have been categorized as heavy-handed and dark.
