About Taurus M. James
I am H.O.P.E.
Helping Other People Elevate
My name is Taurus James and I am a music producer from the United States. I also use the names TaurusBeats, DreZimmer, Kid Kikit and Coach T.
I specialize in Electronic, Hip-Hop, Soul and R&B inspired by the sounds of the late 80's and 90's. My music would be best described as a mixture of Old School Hip-Hop and R&B with Smooth Jazz and Classical influences.
Thanks for stopping by! Grace and Peace, fam!
Taurus M. James
Music Artist
As an artist, I make Life Story Music spontaneously in live streaming "Soul Speak Sessions" and release the music under my real name. These sessions often include piano freestyles (off-the-top, improvisations) - one-time performances that are like journal entries.
While my Moody Mental Music expresses my thoughts and feelings through music, my goal is to inspire listeners and offer them grace and peace.
Influences include: George Benson, Bob James, Brian Culbertson
TaurusBeats
Sample-Flip Beat Maker
As TaurusBeats, I love flipping samples into something new and I love listening to other beat makers and producers master this craft.
My YouTube channel has a few videos showing how I use Reason Suite 11 to make sample flip beats, but I posted many never-heard-before sample-flip beats at my TaurusBeats website.
Influences include: J-Dilla, 9th Wonder, Pete Rock
Helper
As Coach T, I mentor and motivate young men and help them see themselves in more positive ways, while challenging them to elevate in all areas of life.
Whether it's JAM Camp (Xenia, Ohio), The Victory Project (Dayton, Ohio), or Civilian Male Military Spouses around the world, I help people navigate the world around them - sharing my life story and letting them know they are not alone on the journey.
Influences include: All the men who helped me to see myself.
