One Foot in Front of the Other, the full-length debut album from acclaimed singer-songwriter and musician Hayley Taylor, is the follow-up to Taylor's highly praised 2006 EP Waking, which was produced by AJ Mogis (Bright Eyes). The debut EP received widespread rave reviews and "Entertainment Tonight" hailed her as "a rising star of the indie music scene."

Recorded in Los Angeles and New York, One Foot in Front of the Other was produced by Dan Romer, known for his work with Ingrid Michaelson, and Eric Robinson (Matt Nathanson, Kate Voegele). It features performances by an all-star cast of players, including Michael Chaves (John Mayer), Ben Peeler (Alexi Murdoch), cellist Adrienne Woods (Josh Radin, Jonas Brothers), Elliot Jacobson (Ingrid Michaelson) and Marshall Altman (Kate Voegele).

Taylor says the album title reflects her own personal mantra and how she's learned to live her life: "I started calling the album' One Foot In Front of the Other' early on because it gave me the hope and strength to keep forging ahead. To me, it signifies taking life one day a time and enjoying the journey."

Of her overall writing process, Taylor says, "songwriting is a cathartic experience for me - it helps me express what often goes unspoken and allows me to process my feelings. It enables me to create something beautiful out of the joys and struggles of life, capturing in words and music the fleeting breakthroughs of clarity."
