MISSION STATEMENT

SXNTYLR's mission is to inspire people to recognize the greatness and light that already exists within them through music, creativity, and authentic human connection. Every song, performance, and artistic expression is designed to uplift, empower, and remind others that their purpose and potential deserve to shine.

This mission was born from the enduring legacy of his late uncle, Roy Taylor Jr. (R.I.P.), affectionately known as DJ Shining Star, whose life left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered. In tribute to his uncle's spirit, SXNTYLR proudly refers to his fans, supporters, family, and friends as "Shining Stars"—a reminder that every person carries a unique light capable of inspiring the world.

For SXNTYLR, music is more than entertainment; it is a vehicle for encouragement, unity, and transformation. His vision is to build a global community of Shining Stars who celebrate authenticity, pursue excellence, uplift one another, and never dim the light they were created to share.

Shining Star Forever.

SXNTYLR ARTIST BIO

SXNTYLR (pronounced Sean Taylor) is a Jamaican-American recording artist, vocalist, trumpeter, songwriter, and electrifying live entertainer redefining modern R&B through the lens of Caribbean culture, Hip-Hop, and live musicianship.

Few artists can captivate an audience with both a microphone and a trumpet. SXNTYLR does both—blending contemporary R&B, Dancehall, and Afrobeats with world-class musicianship to create a live experience that's as visually compelling as it is sonically unforgettable.

Raised in the Wakefield section of the Boogie Down Bronx, SXNTYLR has shared stages and collaborated with an impressive roster of music legends and tastemakers, including Rakim, Lil' Kim, The LOX, Skyzoo, Torae, Masta Ace, Spragga Benz, Beres Hammond, Termanology, General DV (Khryst), Just Blaze, !llmind, Statik Selektah, and many more. These experiences have shaped an artist equally comfortable commanding intimate venues, major stages, and high-profile collaborations.

Coining the term "Classentic"—a fusion of classic and authentic—SXNTYLR has crafted a sound that is unmistakably his own. His vocal records seamlessly blend contemporary R&B, Dancehall, Afrobeats, and Hip-Hop influences, while his instrumental projects showcase his expressive trumpet playing over rich, cinematic production. Whether singing, performing, or playing trumpet, SXNTYLR delivers music with timeless soul, modern energy, and undeniable authenticity.

Shining Star Forever.
