Taye William

Taye William, author and storyteller, grew up in the vibrant decades of the 1980s and '90s. A kid with a heart full of imagination and a passion for pop culture, Taye found his world shaped by the movies, music, and video games of the era. To this day, part of his mind has never really left those unforgettable decades. The neon-lit arcades, Saturday morning cartoons, and movie marathons of his youth have stayed with him, creating a nostalgic lens through which he sees—and writes about—the world. Taye is the kind of person who loves to play an old-school game with the buzz of a classic movie in the background. He’ll have a controller in hand, challenging himself to beat a level he’s played a thousand times, all while familiar movie lines bring a sense of comfort and inspiration. His love for blending the past with the present adds a unique charm to his writing, where memories mix with imagination to create captivating stories that resonate with readers of all ages. When he's not writing, you might find Taye searching for a favorite VHS, tuning into classic radio hits, or discussing why certain characters and themes from the '80s and '90s continue to influence us today. With every book, Taye aims to take readers on a journey back in time, reawakening the joy of those iconic decades. Through his stories, he invites others to pause, remember, and experience the past in ways that feel both familiar and fresh.
