uest starring in multiple Baywatch
episodes by the time she was nine,
Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff’s life may seem
anything but ordinary. However, Taylor-Ann
views her childhood as pretty normal; no one in
her community or at her private school looked at
her any differently because her father was David
Hasselhoff. Even though she would go to the
beach every day after school to watch her dad film
as the star of Baywatch, Taylor-Ann did not realize
her life was different from anyone else’s. It was
when she attended summer camp that she came to
find that people would want to be friends with her
because of her father’s celebrity. She then realized
she had to be more careful about who she brought
into her close circle. This challenge has continued
throughout her life as she has learned that it is hard
to trust people. In the entertainment industry, it is
difficult to know what people’s real motives are,
and she has learned that she “cannot always be so
open with everyone.”
Growing up in entertainment industry has
provided Taylor-Ann with many significant
experiences. She has seen the amount of devotion
required to be a writer, producer, singer, and actor.
Witnessing the work and dedication needed to
work in the business has given her the platform to
dive into whichever field she chooses. Her father
knew many talented people who were able to give
Taylor the best advice and the kind of handson learning that she would not have been able
to receive if she had not been brought up in the
industry.

In 2010 Taylor and her sister, Hayley, made
their debut into the music industry as Bella Vida.
Both sisters love to sing and write music and hold

Setting aside the concern of their voices meshing
well, they moved forward with dedication.The first
song Taylor and Hayley worked on together was
called “Turn Up the Radio” and when they heard
the finished version they knew their collaboration
would be a success. The following year, TaylorAnn and Hayley released another single, “Kiss
Kiss Me Bang Bang” under their new label while
establishing themselves as legiti-mate artists in the
EDM scene.
After the success of “Turn Up the Radio,” the
girls took off on an international tour. In Europe,
they played sold out venues. “Touring with your
sister is an experience of a lifetime. We were
able to fly all over the world to perform in different
clubs with our crew of six dancers.” Being able to
see different cultures and explore cities Sweden,
Switzerland, Germany, and Austria was eyeopening for Taylor-Ann. She emphasizes, “If I
could spend the rest of my life exploring the world,
I would.” With all the places she has been able
to visit; London remains her favorite. She relishes
everything, from the locals to the cuisine, and
enjoys living the European lifestyle.
Today Taylor can be seen conducting
interviews for Bellus Magazine. Initially working as
a host, one of her first interviews was with actor,
Gregg Sulkin from the MTV show, “Faking It”.
The creator of Bellus, Joshua Shultz, hit it off with
Taylor-Ann from the start, realizing how well they >>>
