Taylor, Ben

Singer, songwriter

As the son of singer-songwriters Carly Simon and James Taylor, singer Ben Taylor seemed destined for a musical career. His parents divorced when he was three, and his mother raised him. Taylor suffered from a kidney condition at birth, and when he was three he underwent surgery to correct it. He was unable to fit in at a series of public and private schools, so he was eventually homeschooled by tutors. Simon told Steve Dougherty and Anne Driscoll in People, "It was the kind of education that, in part, made Ben who he is, which is tripped out." Taylor commented on the Iris Records website that his education was "phenomenal in the most absurd ways. Instead of going to high school, I got independent credit for doing correspondence work. So I was always on a trip, working on the Colorado River or in the Grand Canyon or on a farm in New Mexico, and writing essays about what I'd learned. It was a pretty cool way to get an education." As a teenager, Taylor trekked through Asian and American wilderness areas, activities he had enjoyed with his father.
