Taylor Michelle Thompson was born on February 24, 1992 in Santa Maria, California to parents Tamela and Tracy Thompson. At a very young age, four to be exact, Taylor started grabbing attention because of her singing. People were always coming up to her parents and telling them that their daughter should be in the entertainment business. Taylor's first performance was at the Strawberry Festival in Santa Maria, in which she sang "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat". The audience was sold! At only four years old Taylor knew this is what she wanted to do. From then on, Taylor and her younger sister Tori would perform at festivals, pageants, parties, and anything else that would get them noticed. It was then that the Thompson sisters got their big break. In May 2003, Taylor and her sister Tori were given the opportunity to make their dreams come true. They planned to audition for American Juniors, which would ultimately land them spots in a real music group! Through the show, both Taylor and Tori Thompson landed spots in the American Juniors group. Taylor was chosen first by viewers, the next week, her sister Tori was voted in. Chauncey Matthews, Lucy Hale, and Danielle White then followed, completing the group. The American Juniors group just released their first single "One Step Closer" and their debut album is due out this fall.
