It is often difficult to describe a rare talent such as Kathy Taylor. If you said first class vocalist, talented worship leader, record label owner and philanthropist you would be right but the sum is greater than its parts. So all of Kathy Taylor has showed up for the debut release from her label Katco Music Group, “Kathy Taylor presents Windsor Village United Methodist Church Mass Choir.”
“This record was born out of a desire to tell God we are grateful,” Taylor shares, “with all the natural disasters and tragedies…we remain grateful to Him.” It is appropriate that the first single off the album is “Give Him Praise”, a handraising, headbopping, rousing command to praise. “This is a family album,” Taylor shares, “there is music for every generation from the grandmother to the grandbaby.” “Give Him Praise” starts the family praise party with depth and perfection.
When it comes to entering, as well as ushering others into heaven’s throneroom Kathy Taylor is no newby. In fact, she is just the opposite. For the past 25 years, Kathy has served God, while serving His people as the Minister of Music at the Windsor Village United Methodist Church. It is through her post as Minister of Music, that Kathy honed her Godgiven ability to hear God and to move according to HIs leading.
The Kathy Taylor presents Windsor Village United Methodist Church Mass Choir recording was a church family affair. “The album was a homegrown project,” Taylor shares “most of the songs were written by members of Windsor Village United Methodist Church Mass Choir members.” Stellar Award Winning artist Kurt Carr contributed one track to the album.

Taylor’s Godgiven talents have taken her around the world and in front of heads of state such as former President Bill Clinton and Queen Elizabeth. Planning and executing an album and starting a record label has been a seamless transition for the multitalented vocalist.
“We started recording during a hard time,” Taylor says, “it was easy to look around at what was going wrong, but we knew God was doing everything right and we were grateful.”
Taylor’s heart of gratitude makes her gift richer. There is no pretense with Kathy Taylor only a heart to serve and glorify God.

Taylor is also on the Board of Directors of Mufasa’s Pride, a mentoring organization that for boys. “Our goal is to show them what they can become,” Taylor shares, “once they see, they often become.” As a citizen of the Kingdom, Taylor firmly believes we all must reach back. “Kathy Taylor presents Windsor Village United Methodist Church Mass Choir” ensures that we look up as we reach back.
