DA MAN Magazine | November 2023

Taelor proudly sponsored the attire for musician Nico May's recent interview with DA MAN Magazine. In the feature, May discusses his "evolution" from rap to the soulful embrace of indie folk, all while drawing inspiration from a diverse tapestry of artists. 

Nico May, an emerging talent in the indie folk scene, seamlessly blends modern sensibilities with classic influences. With a background in the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra Jazz Program and a passion that extends into fashion, May represents the dynamic intersection of music and pop culture. His unique style and diverse interests make him a fitting icon for Taelor's fashion-forward approach.

DA: How was getting into songwriting for you, was it a difficult process or adjustment?

NM: I would say you could call it an “evolution”. I first started songwriting six years ago and my sound has drastically changed throughout that time. When I first started, I was drawn to rap, but as my commitment to songwriting deepened, I began exploring new instruments like the guitar, and my style gravitated towards singer-songwriter and indie folk music.

Beyond music, May expresses his passion for fashion, modeling, and acting.

DA: Other than music, do you have any other goals that you want to achieve?

NM: "Fashion has been a lifelong passion of mine... I’m an unapologetic shopaholic and hold a deep affection for the fashion industry. Pursuing a career in modeling and acting is undoubtedly another aspiration of mine"
