Lose Myself To Loving You Joanne Shaw Taylor was born in England in 1986. She started playing guitar at the age of 8 and was drawn to the blues, inspired by Albert Collins and Stevie Ray Vaughan. At the age of 16, she was discovered by former Eurythmics member Dave Stewart, and the following year, she joined the tour of the supergroup D.U.P., which consisted of Stewart, Candy Dulfer, and Jimmy Cliff, as a guitarist. She attracted attention as a child prodigy guitarist. Her 2009 debut album, "White Sugar," achieved the remarkable feat of winning Blues Music Awards in both the US and the UK. He composes almost all of the songs, showcasing his further refined guitar technique and husky vocals on every track. The following year, 2010, he quickly released his second album, "Diamonds in the Dirt," winning the British Blues Award for the second consecutive year. Aiming to break into the US market in earnest, he moved his base of operations to America. He has also gained many fans in Japan with two albums. More recently, in June 2012, he played guitar as Annie Lennox at the "Queen Elizabeth II's 60th Anniversary of Accession Concert," which recorded the highest viewership in the UK, attracting attention not only from blues fans but also from general music fans.
