Taylor Eigsti released his first album at age fourteen. He has been celebrating success ever since as a solo artist, and accompanying major pop and jazz artists, from John Mayer and Sting to Dave Brubeck, Esperanza Spalding and Joshua Redman. He also became a member of Terence Blanchard’s E-Collective. Plot Armor was released on GroundUp Records, the label founded by Snarky Puppy band leader Michael League.
