About

Taylor Houston Pierce is an audio engineer, music producer, sound designer, and educator with knowledge and experience in post-production, recording, music production, mixing and mastering, live broadcast, and room acoustics. Throughout his career, he's worked with Grammy nominated artists like Kaskade, Lipless, and Barney Bones. He’s produced songs that have been released on Death Row Records, STMPD RCRDS, Insomniac Records, and over 20 other labels. He’s had his music played by some of the biggest DJs in the world like John Summit, Chris Lake, Kaskade, and many more.

He started out his career as a sound engineer at Brigham Young University - Idaho and was awarded the 2014 Northwest Chapter “Award of Excellence” for “Audio Recording/Mixing” by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences as a student. He spent his time there recording voice overs, mixing live broadcast, working with the video and lighting teams, and recording bands and orchestras.

He then moved to Los Angeles in 2015 and worked his way up at Hacienda Post from a foley editor to being the re-recording mixer for Cartoon Network’s “Mighty Magiswords.” He did various audio work on over 13 cartoon shows for Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Disney while at Hacienda Post, including dialogue editing, sound design, sound editing, file management, and recording.

His music project, Zendlo, began to gain traction during this time and it took him all the way to Iceland and to 9 states before the pandemic brought touring to a hault. He released songs on Insomniac, STMPD RCRDS, Techne, and many other labels. He released collaborations with notable artists like Kaskade, OMNOM, and VNSSA. He also began mixing, mastering, and producing songs for other artists during this time. He’s done mixing and mastering work for artists like OMNOM, Westend, J. Worra, VNSSA, and over 100 others.

In 2023, Taylor rebranded with his debut release as Taylor Pierce on Walker & Royce's label Rules Don't Apply with his song "Need Some More" featuring Fubu Q on the vocals. "Need Some More" was played by Chris Lake, OMNOM, Kyle Watson, Lee Foss, and many others and started the rebrand with a bang. Taylor has continued to refine his skills and found ways to be creative and innovative in the house scene. He has released on other notable labels like Kyle Watson's No Context Records, Black V Neck's Retail Records, Dr Fresch's House Call Records, and other heavy hitting labels.

Taylor has big plans for the rest of 2026, starting with his next release in July on Wongo's label Box of Cats. He also just acquired a new studio space and will be recording the process of setting up the new studio and explain how to use tools like Room EQ Wizard. He plans on sharing his knowledge along with continuously releasing music and pursuing the artist path.
