Early life

Hanson was born in a suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the second of seven children born to Clarke Walker Hanson and Diana Frances Hanson. He has partial Danish ancestry.[2]

Music career

Hanson sings and plays keyboard and the piano with the band Hanson. He and his older brother, Isaac, started the band with younger brother Zac in 1992, and were initially known as The Hanson Brothers (later changed to just 'Hanson'). At the time, Isaac was eleven, Taylor was nine, and Zac was six. They performed as an a cappella group outside clubs in Tulsa. On May 6, 1997, the band released their first major studio album, Middle of Nowhere, with Mercury Records. The first single, "MMMBop", made it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[3]

May 6 has been declared "Hanson Day" in Tulsa in honor of the release of Middle of Nowhere. Each year on this day the band hosts concerts and celebrations in Tulsa, and fans travel from around the world to attend.[4]

In 2003, Taylor Hanson co-founded 3CG Records along with brothers Isaac and Zac Hanson.

It was announced in early 2009 that Hanson, along with former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos and Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger, formed a new band called Tinted Windows. The band played their first publicized gig at SXSW in Austin, Texas on March 20, 2009. Their first album was released on April 21, 2009.[5][6] Adam Schlesinger died in 2020 from COVID-19. A few months after Schlesinger's death, Hanson mentioned that a Tinted Windows reunion had been in the works.[7]

Personal life

On June 8, 2002, Hanson married Natalie Anne Bryant, whom he met in 2000.[8] They have seven children; sons born in 2002, 2006, 2008, and 2018 and daughters born in 2005, 2012, and 2020.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

In 2014, Hanson founded Food On The Move, a Tulsa based volunteer organization that acts to end food insecurity in the community. Food On The Move offers fresh produce, prepared meals, and access to community and health resources.[16]

In 2021, as part of The Sound of Black Wall Street musical project,[17] Hanson contributed to an album paying homage to the hundredth anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre. His song, "Sound Like Joy", was recorded in historic Vernon AME Church at the heart of Tulsa's Black Wall Street.[18]
