Even lunch, dinner, and especially dessert.

Wolf King

There is this story, this myth in New York City. This special spot, within a subway tunnel where you go three steps down, two to the left and knock on the green door. You say the magic word - oo fa chiki wawa. When within this sprawling cavern you see artists, scientists, musicians, dancers... all gambling their talents, skills and stories. Some win, most lose.

But there is one man you go back to when you've lost it all..

Breathe Easy

“Bend, slap, scratch and scream at it – then you’ll know how to play the violin.” –Taylor Rankin.

Taylor Rankin’s music brings you to a magical place where funk, reggae, hip hop, gospel, pop, rap and blues all cling to the whirling dervish spinning inside his mind. His voice slides seamlessly from baritone to falsetto, pinching and winking at every note in between, while he literally reaches inside his violin, pushing it to new limits – caressing, smashing, coaxing it to sound like a DJ scratching the finest vinyl, an electric guitar, a bass, drum, flute, and even, on occasion, a violin. 
Working with only his voice, his violin and drummer, Rankin moves over and makes room for you to get in on his joyride of sound. From his first performances busking as a 12-year-old to working alongside famous choreographers to touring and recording with musicians such as Wyclef, Mary J. Blige, Erikah Badu, Collie Buddz, and Heather Nova, Rankin has been on a relentless musical journey and he wants you along for the ride. Every experience is unique, ranging from the epic to the sublime to the dirty, bumping, low-down, groovy sounds that only a half-Japanese Bermudian-Canadian can possibly create. 
The door is open. All you have to do is step inside…
“Rankin is the instrument and his sound throws you from one moment to the next – he woos you in with his voice, convinces you to get close, to slide up beside and move with him – then smacks your ass with his violin.”
