Songwriting began at the young age of just seven for Pelham, Alabama native Joybeth Taylor, so it was no surprise when the now 27-year-old Taylor packed up all to her name and left the Yellowhammer State in August of 2016 to pursue her passion of songwriting in Nashville.
Taylor vastly developed an ability to captivate audience members within Music City, utilizing her organic and real-life experiences. After penning over 200 songs a year independently for close to five years, Taylor received and signed her first-ever publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing and Verse 2 in April of 2021, earning her first number one song in 2025, “Weren’t For The Wind.” Her most recent radio hit, “Choosin Texas,” broke Taylor Swift’s record for most weeks #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts for a female country song.
She now has multiple radio singles and cuts with Ella Langley, Jordan Davis, Warren Zeiders, Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Josh Ross, Koe Wetzel, Kameron Marlowe, and Zach John King. Nominated for Music Row’s 2025 Female Songwriter of the Year, as well as Breakthrough Writer of the Year, she continues to make her mark as one of the most pure and crafted lyricists on Music Row.
