Taylor Lawrence Abrahamse (born May 7, 1991) is a Canadian voice actress and musician, most known for Fangbone!, The Stanley Dynamic, Doc, D.N. Ace, and Norman Picklestripes.
Life and career After begging her parents for an agent at the age of six, she began landing numerous commercials in television and radio, as well as print. Soon, this transitioned over into supporting TV movie and series roles, including Jimmy Osmond in the ABC biopic Inside the Osmonds, and Elliott in PAX TV's Doc, a series starring Billy Ray Cyrus for which Abrahamse was nominated for a Young Actor's Award for "Best Performance in a Supporting Role". Abrahamse also played Cinco in the Ross Petty pantomime Snow White & the Group of Seven, acting and singing alongside Canadian Idols including Ryan Malcolm and Billy Klippert, and Glass Tiger frontman Alan Frew.
As a teenager, Abrahamse was a Top 40 finalist on Canadian Idol. After a spontaneous performance at a music conference, Abrahamse was discovered by Jimi Hendrix producer Eddie Kramer. That album, produced by Kramer with additional production by Abrahamse, was released in 2020. The lead single "I Won't Put Up With It", features a music video largely edited and directed by Abrahamse along with other projects. On the strength of the album, Abrahamse opened for "Hawksley Workman", won the Kerrville Newfolk Songwriting Contest, and has since toured various times through the US and Canada.
Abrahamse voices the lead character in the self-titled series Fangbone! (Disney XD), which began airing in 2016, and has a theme song written by Abrahamse and performed by Peter Driemanis of July Talk. Abrahamse voiced Luke Stanley in YTV's The Stanley Dynamic (Nelvana/Amaze), which lasted for two seasons.
