JAYBIRD BYRNE
JayBird is recognised by senior musicians and guitar enthusiasts as an outstanding instrumental guitarist. Her performances captivate audiences and have earned her growing reputation fuelled by social media. This recognition is not only due to her exceptional talent but also the fierceness and spirit of her playing. With a guitar in her hands, JayBird connects and communicates with her audience, as witnessed by the crowd of 7,000 at the Pub Choir event at the Brisbane Riverstage
Significantly, JayBird’s versatility and creativity have also been acknowledged by sponsorship from Ibanez, Boss/Roland and Elixir Strings. Her style is unique, guided by her mentor Simon Gardner, and heavily influenced by guitar legends such as Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. She has set her sights on writing and producing her own music, viewing it as the ultimate form of self-expression. She is already well on her way to developing her sense of individuality and musicality with her original compositions featuring a complex fusion of multi-layered guitar tracks. In 2025, she is working on her first album, 'My Eyes', a unique compilation of instrumental songs in which she uses her guitar as her voice to give an insight into the world through her eyes as an Autistic individual.
