In the realm of music, there's a rising star whose talent knows no bounds: JayBird Byrne, a 13-year-old guitar prodigy from Brisbane. Her skills are beyond her years, drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, and Polyphia.
While most kids her age are preoccupied with typical teenage concerns, JayBird is laser-focused on her music. She effortlessly balances her schoolwork with her passion for performing, staying grounded amidst the growing attention she receives.
‘My music is a translator, sort of like a portal where I can express myself without words.’
– JayBird Byrne
But JayBird isn't content with just covering other artists' work. She's already composing her own original music, as seen in her upcoming debut EP, 'Dog Tales', which pays tribute to the furry friends who've left paw prints on her heart.
Despite the hype surrounding her, JayBird remains true to herself, prioritizing authenticity and personal growth over fleeting fame.
Witnessing JayBird perform live is like witnessing the birth of a legend. From local gigs to larger festivals, she commands the stage with a confidence that belies her age, leaving audiences in awe of her talent.
And the metal community is taking notice. Nita Strauss has described her playing as 'incredible' and 'absolutely insane'. Carl Brown (GuitarLessons365) has said she ‘is one of the most extraordinary talents to pick up the instrument in a very long time’. Brian May from Queen has also taken notice of her on social media, offering his approval with a 'thumbs up'.
