Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning NYC-based pianist and composer Taylor Eigsti started playing the piano when he was four years old. Eigsti was quickly labeled a prodigy, and has since released 9 albums as a bandleader, in addition to appearing on over 80 albums as a sideman.

In February 2025, Eigsti won his second GRAMMY® Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for his ninth album Plot Armor (2024, GroundUP Music), following a 2022 GRAMMY® Award win for his eighth album Tree Falls (2021, GSI Records) in the same category.

Eigsti has garnered a total of 4 individual GRAMMY® nominations over the years for his work as a recording artist and composer, including Best Instrumental Composition, and Best Jazz Instrumental Solo, in addition to being featured on several other GRAMMY® nominated albums by Gretchen Parlato and Julian Lage, and co-wrote a featured composition with Don Cheadle for the GRAMMY® - winning soundtrack to the motion picture Miles Ahead (2017).

Eigsti was the winner of Downbeat Magazine’s 72nd Annual Critic’s Poll for Rising Star “Pianist of the Year” for 2024.
