We had the good fortune of connecting with Carl Taylor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carl, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Initially my thought process around Bridgetown was to use the space for myself when I’m not making music at my home studio. But it wasn’t long before I realized that there was a great opportunity to utilize the space in a way that could be more beneficial to other artists. From there, I started Bridgetown Studio and have been surprised at how much I enjoy being an entrepreneur in the music space.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a Producer, I’ve had the honor to work with some extremely talented artists’ like: Jidenna, Gashi, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Kid Cudi, Aaron Ray, Jacob Lattimore, War, & Ty $ to name a few. Last year I had the opportunity to work on the TV show
“Becoming a Popstar” on MTV which was a really cool experience. In 2018, I opened Bridgetown Studio with the goal of
creating an artist centric space for new creatives and haven’t looked back since. While I’m really proud of the things I’ve
been able to accomplish personally, it means a lot to me to see other artists have the opportunity to do the same and
Bridgetown has provided that.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
– The Broad – MOCA
– Griffith Observatory
– The Getty Museum
– Runyon Canyon
– Fryman Canyon
– The Grove
– Joey’s Restaurant

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I have to shoutout my family. Navigating running a business through COVID was extremely challenging but with their support, I was able to navigate through that time and even pull off a few W’s.
