Taylor Gamble of Burbank on Life, Lessons & Legacy

Taylor Gamble shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Good morning Taylor , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
If I’m not working, my mornings are all about setting the tone for the day. I wake up early, shower, make a cup of coffee, and then spend 30 to 60 minutes journaling — a practice I picked up from The Artist’s Way. It’s my space to let my thoughts spill out and to set an intention. After that, I’ll meditate, pray, and do some breath work. I love starting the day slowly and intentionally, without rushing, so I feel grounded before stepping into everything else.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Taylor Gamble. I’m an LA-based artist, producer, and musician. Earlier this year I released my debut project, The Cure, which is the most personal and fulfilling work of my career so far. Many people know me as a guitarist — I’ve toured the world with international superstars — but that has always been just one part of who I am. In the past two years, I lost both my sister and my mother within eight months of each other. My family is deeply musical, and before she passed, I promised my mom I would finally pursue what had always been in my heart: becoming an artist in my own right. For me, this journey isn’t about fame or recognition — it’s about creating from a place of truth, honoring my roots, and building my own table.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I don’t think the world ever told me who I had to be. I’ve always had a mind of my own. If I wanted to do something I was going to do the heck out of it! If I didn’t want to do something, I had no problem going on about my way in peace. As a kid, I was very quiet and to myself. I’ve always had a rich and lively inner world. Those who truly know me have experienced that side. However, I’ve always made a safe space for myself to retreat to when the noise from the world got too loud.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Plenty of times! I’ve questioned if this was really for me. However, I’ve always found myself coming back to it. I used to feel like my personality and Hollywood didn’t match. I’m not a party girl nor do I care to have the attention of the masses all the time. I had to really dig deep to remember why I even got on this journey to begin with. It was more so about healing than it was about clout or big stages. At a certain point, the lines became blurred and it just felt like noise. I didn’t feel like I was in alignment with where I was headed or with some of the opportunities that were being presented. I had to find my footing again which I found through creating my project.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
Not everything is logical nor is it linear that’s why it’s called a journey.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people say I was a woman who found herself — not by chasing perfection or becoming an idol, but by weaving all of her experiences into wholeness. My life was less about proving I was the best, and more about discovering what was truly mine, piece by piece, until the bigger picture came into focus.
