MUSIC
Tayt Modern’s songwriting is deeply influenced by the late-70’s and early-80’s Pop, Goth, Punk, and New Wave genres. His approach to songwriting begins with letting go of agenda and relaxing with simple chord progression ad libbing lyrics until they fall into rhythm and melody and then revisiting these motifs and feeling out the one’s that contain a true spark.
