Rockstar Diaries Season 1

JONATHAN TAYLOR: THE GLOBAL VIRTUOSO From the sun-drenched shores of California emerges JONATHAN TAYLOR, a musical force whose life is as rich and intricate as the melodies he masterfully coaxes from the guitar. A native son of the Golden State, Mr. Taylor was not just a performer, but a diplomatic representative for the United States, traveling the globe as an American Cultural Specialist in South America and the Caribbean, sponsored by the prestigious National Endowment for the Arts (Arts America program). His electrifying, sold-out concerts have graced the presence of world luminaries, including UN delegates, American Ambassadors, and foreign heads of State, solidifying his status on the international stage. Taylor's journey to virtuosity is a tale of unparalleled dedication. During the transformative decades of the 1970s and 80s, he secured a full Presidential scholarship to study music at Chapman University and later commanded the music department at the Newport Institute of the Arts. His formative years were spent under the private tutelage of legends: a long-time student at the home of the great maestro Pepe Romero, and a protégé of Frederick Noad, whose PBS series was a staple of American life, and who authored the classic "Solo Guitar Playing." Noad, a founding member of the Guitar Foundation of America, saw Taylor's destiny clearly, declaring in 1981: "Jonathan Taylor has the will and ability to become a major musical figure." This promise was echoed by the great American Virtuoso Christopher Parkening after a 1979 Master Class, hailing him as "An Exceptional young guitarist." Mr. Taylor’s long and distinguished career is defined by his virtuosity, unique transcriptions, and a profound commitment to materially adding to the guitar's repertoire. For years, he performed extensively, captivating audiences across Europe, North and South America, and Asia. A true pioneer, Taylor recognized the dawn of the digital age, becoming one of the first artists to record digitally in the early 1990s. This foresight led to the creation of a staggering catalog of over 300 Tracks—a body of work that has few, if any, equals, surpassing even the recorded material of The Beatles. His extraordinary music is now streaming Worldwide on every major platform, including ITunes, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, Sirius, and IHeart Radio. To find this musical titan, simply Google: Jonathan Taylor Beautiful World. When the global tours pause, this master of the strings returns to the Californian haven of Huntington Beach, the constant epicenter of a life lived on the epic stage. JONATHAN TAYLOR is more than a musician; he is an artistic diplomat, a groundbreaking visionary, and a living legend of the classical guitar.

Forget a "get out of jail free" card; Jennifer Precious Finch's was a "get out of Van Halen free card"—and she took it straight to the top of the punk rock world. Born in the shadow of Los Angeles, this quintessential punk prodigy ditched institutional learning for the raw power of The Ramones and The Clash. At 13, she traded a normal life for the adventure of being a chronic runaway, diving headfirst into the scene she was simultaneously documenting with her camera, shooting early icons like The Dead Kennedys. After a formative stint in San Francisco's underground, forming the powerful, short-lived Death Rock trio Sugar Baby Doll with future heavyweights Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland, Finch moved back to LA and took a fateful tip to join a new band: L7. As the electrifying bass player for the legendary grunge-punk powerhouse, Finch helped define the sound and fury of a generation. She was instrumental in getting L7 signed to Sub Pop and toured the world with titans like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and The Beastie Boys. She also helped co-found Rock 4 Choice, a seminal fundraiser that united the punk and feminist communities. After leaving L7, she honored her late father by adopting his nickname for her as her middle name—Precious—and blazed trails with her new projects, Other Star People and The Shocker, which made history as the first Western women to complete a DIY tour of a Muslim country in Turkey. From teenage runaway and punk photographer to a defining force in one of the most important bands of the '90s, Jennifer Precious Finch is a rock 'n' roll legend whose story is as loud and uncompromising as her music.
