About

Taylor Gonsalves is a Boston-based performer, multi-instrumentalist, and writer, whose mission is to uplift and inspire young musicians. With over 13 years of performance experience, she seeks to cultivate joy through musical exploration, community building, and live shows.

Music Career

From jazz combos to jam bands, a cappella groups to ensembles, award-winning writer and musician Taylor Gonsalves has left her mark on every musical venture she’s been a part of.
