Taylor Russell McKenzie was conceived in Vancouver, British Columbia on July 18 on the 18th of July 1994. She was also raised in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. Russell was the daughter of a black father, and a white mother. She was raised primarily with her mom's family. Russell recalled how as a child she was rejected by her peers because of the colour of her skin. Their parents were struggling financiallyand were always on the move, uprooting their homes sixteen times in order to pursue her father's job. Russell said that despite the struggles there was always an opportunity to reinventthemselves, to create something new. Russell's parents were financially struggling and she was always in motion. She was 18 when she started her first class in acting. She used the money she earned from her job to buy a car and then drove to Los Angeles, to audition. As her funds ran out her home was returned to work until she was able to earn enough to go back to the audition. This was the way she worked for four years, until she was offered her first television part.
