Martel Taylor was born and raised in Pontiac, Michigan. As a child, Martel was very outgoing and played well with other children. However, when at home, he spent a lot of time playing by himself. Raised in the church by his grandmother, he was active in different youth ministries. While growing up, Martel played sports and also took an interest in comedy and acting. One of Martel's favorite routines was entertaining his family by using a broom and practicing his preaching because he wanted to be a minister when he grew up. This was eventually replaced with the desire to entertain others with laughter. However, there was still something missing. Martel began to write poems and draw “for fun” which he found therapeutic. This led Martel to begin to write down his thoughts on paper about what he desired for his future.

​

As an adult, Martel took a series of jobs that eventually led him to getting involved in the mortgage banking business. This was not intended to be a career path. However, Martel decided to pursue this career in order to put food on the table for his family. After putting his dreams and goals on hold for over 15 years, he decided it was time to follow his passion and concentrate on the next phase of his life. Martel always remembered his grandmother telling him “Whatever you do in life, be the best at it”. Those words encouraged him to begin writing his first pilot Television show episode in 2011. As of 2024 Martel has completed writing ten feature films: two pilot television series, written, produced and directed a short film tilted "A Story of Faith", a stage play titled "Broken Covenant". Wrote, directed and produced two award winning  feature films, Broken Covenant The Movie" currently streaming on Amazon Prime and Tubi and the film "In A Split Second" currently streaming on Amazon Prime and Tubi. Martel, is looking forward to the next chapter of his life as a successful writer, director and producer for film and television. For Martel Taylor, “THE BEST IS YET TO COME”.
