Full name: Jordan Taylor Hanson DOB: March 14,1983 Sign: Pisces About his sign: Creative, artistic, spiritual, imaginative he's the family dreamer. Flash, cash, fame and fortune do not move him; he's just the artsy one that likes to create. Taylor is a born performer; when he sings a song he actually projects the feeling of the lyrics into his voice. He's sensitive and sympathetic to others' problems. Tay is easy going and good natured and just shrugs off personal insults. Criticize his music though and he gets senstitive. It takes a lot to anger him but he does have his occasional temper tantrums (I mean... who doesn't???) Age: 14 Education: successfully finished 8th grade home schooling and is currently a freshman Born in: Jenks,OK...a suburb of Tulsa, Ok Lives in: Tulsa, Ok Height: 5'6" (This has been confirmed!!) Weight: about 115 lbs. Hair: blonde and has a rat tail in back. He wears it shoulder length and parted down the middle. Sometimes it's in a ponytail but mostly he just tucks it behind his ears. Eyes: blue Shoe size: 13 in mens (?) He's actually not ambidextrous... something about him eating with one hand but writing with the other... I don't know! What he contributes to the music: vocals (mostly lead except in Lucy and A Minute Without You, he shares lead in Madeline and Man From Milwaukee) keyboards (I think they're Kurzweil), congas/bongos, tambourine, piano Takes voice lessons since his voice has been changing Personality: flirtatious, friendly, shy, blends the intelligence of Ike with the zaniness of Zac, perfectionist, was really hyper when he lived in Trinidad and ran around with a plastic sword in hand and a baseball cap that he refused to take off (?), the most enigmatic Hanson, quietest, VERY modest, blushes easily, he's the Hanson that is least drawn to the spotlight but since he is the "favorite" he usually finds himself there He'd rather not be singled out from his brothers though, he's a major introvert and isn't a big fan of interviews but put a keyboard and a synthesizer or a set of congas in front of him and all that shyness will magically disappear, when you get him to talk during an interview you can count on him to be the one that gives the straightest, most thoughtful answers, like Isaac he doesn't like being compared to other groups but he has a good natured sense of humor about it, incredibly soft hearted, generous, a good talker when you get to know him Style: Tay goes for comfort and his motto is even "Function before fashion" That means lots of Hang Tens T-shirts, occasionally under a long sleeved, open-buttoned denim or solid red shirt, but most often without other layers. Tay's color choices are much different from Ike's His shirts come in all different colors and most are V-necks. He wears lots of blues, some black, a bit of green, red or gray. Once he showed up in teal leather jacket; at another a black denim jacket. For one photo shoot he wore an electric blue long sleeved shirt with white stripes! He's the most likely to be wearing jeans either blue or black or blue baggies like the ones he wore on the Jenny show. He rarely wears sneakers because he prefers hiking boots like Doc Martens and Timberlands. He is the most accessorized Hanson. Besides that ever present watch he wears many chokers around his neck... beads threaded on ropy leather straps, a silver coin, another resembles an ankh (Egyptian good luck symbol), a Star Of David and he does wear a beeper since he's so busy nowadays. He tries to keep it hidden as well as possible though. ~~~~~~~Miscellanous Stuff~~~~~~~~ *Dental prediction: To close that cute gap in his front teeth Tay might need to get braces someday. He and Ike can be dental twins! *His favorite drink is not Mug Root Beer! It is actually mineral water! *Fave quote: "Everything changes." *Best career advice his parents gave him: "You have to love music in order to do it" *His advice to wannabe musicians: "It's a lot of work; you have to be really dedicated. You have to really know what you want and keep goin' for it." *Weird fact: He uses the word "weird" possibly more than any other living being. It's his favorite word in fact! *Has been described as everything from "a pubescent Kurt Cobain" to "a dreamboat so fine featured most people mistake him for a girl." *A Swedish teen magazine, Frida, voted him one of summer's 12 hottest guys! Alright Tay!! *Be jealous! He has some sort of crush on Jennifer Aniston and Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton from the Spice Girls *Fave music: Natalie Merchant, No Doubt, Counting Crows, Spin Doctors, Billy Joel, a little country (hey what do you expect? He's from OK!) and of course you can't forget those 50s and 60s oldies that first inspired them Tay quote: "I mean, just everything, all the Top 40 stuff and everything else, even rap." *He really likes art and drew the cartoons on the Middle Of Nowhere album cover with Zac's help. He also painted lots of pictures that were eventually hung all around their garage/studio *Shares a room with Zac and Ike and shares clothes with Zac *Has a retainer which causes a lisp (?) *If not a musician, Tay would be an architect or an interior designer type thing *Has a red toothbrush (?) Just a little obssessive! *Has scars on his back, left side of his face, and the back of his leg *Interests: poetry, Shakespeare, computers (yippee!), go-carts (?), Miami Dolphins (?), monkeys (???), rollerblading at Venice Beach (has been rollerblading for 5 to 6 years), soccer, one-on-one basketball matches *Fave soccer player: Alexi Lalas *Fave fragrance: CKbe (?) *Fave foods: pizza, McDonalds, mashed potatoes, and something about his mom's homemade brownies (?) *Fave ice cream: strawberry (hmmm... it's red...) *Worst habit: tapping on things when he's talking and it seems when there's nothing to tap on he uses his hands to fully express what he's saying *His favorite candy is jellybeans *Fave color: red because "it makes everything look beautiful and red candy always tastes best" *Likes to rollerblade, play soccer, draw, read, go on the computer (Yeah!! He's a pretty cool kid!) He's defintiely the artist of the group and draws in pen and pencil, chalk, markers, crayons; on napkins, paper, easels... anything! He even drew a pretty accurate portrait of Mark Hudson (he helped with Middle Of Nowhere) with a speech bubble saying "Groovy" He found it funny that Hudson said "Groovy" so much! *Fave subjects: English, literature and art *He hates it when girls scream whenever they meet him or his brothers. *For the overly obssessed Tay fans: it is said he sleeps in a tank top and boxers. *He is currently single and he would date a fan if she was nice enough but he thinks it would be hard because she'd scream if he held her hand. That's All For Now! THEY HAVE AN UNAUTHORIZED BOOK ABOUT TAYLOR TITLED, "TOTALLY TAYLOR" It's pretty good, go out and buy it...I bought mine at Walden's bookstore...
