Franklin Area High School graduate Gabe Taylor has taken the first big step in his music career with the release of his debut album, Rock N Roll, on Aug. 8. Available on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, and SoundCloud, the 10-track album includes both new songs and polished versions of his earlier acoustic demos, which previously earned him a feature in Remixd Magazine. Now a college student, Taylor says he is committed to pursuing music despite its challenges, viewing this release as his starting point. He also shares updates on his YouTube channel, @GTofficial-007, and is already working on his next album, Good Ol Soul, planned for release late next year.
