Taylor Johnson spent his for formative years in the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada where he cut his teeth writing songs and performing in various indie rock bands.


At the age of 18 he relocated to Los Angeles where he studied music business and began ghost writing songs professionally for the leading songwriters and artists in pop, country, hip hop and rock which have topped charts in counties all over the world.

Although always thankful to be continuously working in the music industry, Taylor felt a large part of his artistic freedom and general happiness were being compromised working as a ghost writer. A longing for writing more personal, meaningful songs and performing those songs was ever present. With that, Taylor began writing and performing as The Hope State.


Now living in Toronto, Canada, Taylor has begun recording with JUNO Award-winner Crispin Day (July Talk) and is set to release his debut album “Skeletons”, an introspective and intensely honest look at regret, depression, addiction, love and loss, set for release in November 2018
