Maui Taylor was born in Brighton, East Sussex, England and was raised there until the age of six; the youngest of four children. Her mother Annette met her father, Ricardo Taylor, a landscape artist, while on vacation in England. She lived in London until her teens when she was sent to live in the Philippines with her parents. Aside from her mother's longing to return to her homeland, her father insisted that she leave England with the rationale that she be raised with "Filipino values". Her older sisters are also in the entertainment field with one being an opera singer for the London Opera House while the other a choreographer.
Maui initially got into show biz with the assistance of a cousin who was a member of a dance group in the Philippines. Because of her mestiza features, Taylor quickly found herself as a sought after actress despite the fact that she had no prior acting experience. She was eventually cast on the Filipino TV soap opera Anna Karenina at the age of 14. This led to other roles in various TV shows as well as cinema.
Maui Taylor first gained attention when she appeared on the cover of the pinay April 2002 issue of FHM (Philippine edition). Because of her mature body and her pretty face, she instantly became a hot sex symbol among men.
2003 was the last year Taylor was active in films. In April 2003, she starred with actress Katya Santos in the sex comedy Sex Drive, which was deeply inspired by the movie Y' Tu MaMa Tambien. Although it was blasted by critics for its pointless plot and sex scenes, Sex Drive made around almost P65 million domestically.
She continues to be one of the most popular models and actresses in Filipino entertainment. The November 2005 issue of FHM featured an exclusive interview of Taylor as well as a hot-looking cover of her.
