Taylor Laurence Rhodes is an American songwriter, producer, and musician from Nashville, Tennessee, most notable for his work with hard rock band Aerosmith since 1993.

The following year, he co-wrote a single on fellow glam metal band Kix's commercial breakthrough album, Blow My Fuse.

This track, "Cold Blood" became a hit on rock radio stations and helped earn Rhodes a spot as producer for the next Kix album.

The song was Aerosmith's biggest single from the Get a Grip album (achieving sales of over 20 million copies worldwide), reaching #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

In 2000, Rhodes collaborated with Gary Louris in writing The Jayhawks's single "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me", which was used in the Ralph Lauren national TV campaign for their "Polo Blue" scent.
