Jack Taylor’s Post

From curating events and DJing to the boardroom? That’s me 👋 💿 🎵 Here's a little on how my musical background and love of nightlife culture shape my current career in culture insights and trend analysis: 👇 1️⃣ Connecting People: DJs connect people with music; I connect people with culture to spark ideas and meaningfully contribute to it. 2️⃣ Creating Energy: Knowing the vibe of the room makes it easy to energize a dance floor, and the same can be said for knowing the vibe of a brand’s community. 3️⃣ Encouraging Action: Great DJ sets inspire movement and tell a story; Connecting brands to the communities and cultures driving them inspires engagement. 4️⃣ Fostering Unity: Music unites people; Creating a cohesive brand narrative creates culture and drives community collaboration. The list goes on! From DJ booths and festival stages to conferences and client workshops, I’ll always believe in the power of connection. If there’s one thing you can learn from my background in nightlife and music, it’s the importance of culture. As music drives us to the dance floor, culture drives our brands. 

“Cool to me is following what you believe in.”— Chris Martin I have attended my third Coldplay concert in Singapore and this is definitely my favourite. It's not just about the music, but their purpose that lead them to connect better with their fans. Three key lessons learned from the Coldplay "Music of the Spheres" world tour concert, with reference to a Farmer's Mindset where it's a mindset rooted in tenacity, flexibility, groundedness and a deep sense of purpose: 1. Adaptivity: Coldplay's ability to adapt their music over the years has ensured its timeless appeal, attracting a diverse audience and fostering a deep connection with fans across generations. Similar to a farmer adjusting to changing seasons and/or situations, Coldplay's music evolves to remain evergreen, creating memorable experiences like my first concert in 2006 with my wife, now revisited in 2024 with our daughters. 😍 2. Staying Grounded: The band's grounded approach emphasizes inclusivity and unity, making everyone feel like part of a larger family. Small gestures, such as Chris Martin kneeling to interact with fans and expressing gratitude to all involved, highlight their commitment to fostering a sense of community and purpose at their concerts. 3. Tenacity: Despite facing challenges and nearly breaking up, Coldplay's unwavering belief in their purpose has kept them together for 26 years, making them one of the world's most beloved bands. Chris Martin's personal journey reflects this resilience, as he overcame fears and insecurities to embrace love, growth, and authenticity. Coldplay's approach to making concerts accessible to all, their commitment to sustainability, and their dedication to supporting environmental projects further exemplify their holistic and purpose-driven mindset. Just as a farmer cares for the land with resilience and purpose, Coldplay nurtures their music and their community, leaving a lasting impact on fans worldwide. #farmersmindset #thelocalfarmsg #gardenasia #coldplay #sustainability #betterworld #love #nofarmersnofood #foodsecurity

Something you may not know about me is that I am a passionate music lover and you'll regularly find me down the front at gigs of bands I only heard about last Tuesday. And recently, mid-mosh-pit, I found myself reflecting on the intersection of this passion with sustainability. 🎶🌍 Attending live gigs is undeniably a joy, but it's essential to consider the environmental impact of these events, particularly in terms of the carbon footprint generated by touring musicians and the recent criticisms over certain celebrities and private jet usage, or car parking spaces at stadium tour venues. ✈️✈️ But also what about their engagement with fans? Are they encouraging choosing greener transportation options? Implementing eco-friendly practices at venues? Engaging with fans on sustainability initiatives? 🌱 That's why I'm really welcome seeing an increasing awareness and action in the music industry regarding environmental responsibility. The recent uptake of the "No Music on a Dead Planet" movement at the Brit Awards is a significant step forward. 🌟 It's a powerful reminder of the influential role music can play in advocating for positive change and environmental stewardship. As fans, let's continue to support and encourage musicians in their efforts to prioritize sustainability. Together, we can enjoy the magic of live music while also contributing to a healthier planet. 🌟🌎 https://lnkd.in/e6SWU-ay #Music #Sustainability #LiveGigs #CarbonFootprint #EnvironmentalAwareness #NoMusicOnADeadPlanet #BritAwards

Creating an enchanting atmosphere for small dinner parties is an art and I love nothing more than working on smaller gatherings. By incorporating diverse entertainment options like live DJs, musicians, roller skaters, dancers, and more, you can elevate the experience, ensuring guests have a memorable time. Maintaining the right balance is crucial for a successful dinner party. Avoiding being overwhelming ensures that guests can comfortably socialise. Striking the perfect harmony allows for meaningful conversations amidst the entertainment. It's proof that a fantastic party doesn't require a massive guest list; intimacy paired with unique entertainment can make the celebration truly extraordinary.

Music at Workplace... Music can transform the workplace into a hub of productivity and creativity. Its rhythmic beats can drown out distractions, boost mood, and enhance focus, leading to better collaboration and innovation. Whether it's classical melodies or upbeat tunes, incorporating music into the work environment can elevate mood, reduce stress, and ultimately improve overall performance. 🎵 #WorkplaceWellness #ProductivityBoost Any other thoughts?

Three pieces of music which you'll feel more than you'll actually hear 👇🏼 I love using the term to feel rather than to listen when referring to music. Obviously we listen to music but when we really connect with a piece or song, it's almost like we're feeling it with every cell of our body. This is why learning how to use music to positively impact our mindset and wellbeing is so important. It is the easiest and best tool to regulate your mind and body 🧠 Make a cup of tea, grab a seat and some good headphones and check out these amazing pieces: 1. Recomposed - Max Richter 2. Bridge Over Troubled Water - Arranged by Jacob Collier 3. Dappled Light - Jess Gillam Save this post so you remember these pieces later on tonight 🎶 #music #wellbeing #wellness #listening
