JAYBIRD BYRNE

​​

JayBird is a 14-year-old Queenslander already acknowledged as a talented musician.  Her passion is instrumental guitar. As an Autistic individual, she believes that ‘music serves as a translator, allowing me to connect with myself and others, giving me a voice that I would not otherwise have’. Her performances captivate audiences. This is not only due to her incredible talent but also to the fierceness and spirit of her playing and her innate feel for connecting to and communicating with her audience. 

Endorsements from many top companies acknowledge JayBird’s skills. Legends such as Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani have significantly influenced her style. However, her versatility and creativity are already evident in her highly individual tone, a fusion of prog-rock and metal guitar. What is most significant is the repertoire of original music being produced. (‘Convergence’, her first single, was awarded First prize honours at the International Youth Music Competition). Her strong individuality and musicality underpin her compositions' complex fusion of multi-layered guitar tracks. She is currently working on her first album ‘My Eyes’. JayBird’s goal is to control ‘all things guitar’ – evident in self-production and impressive technical skills in maintenance and improved instrument performance. The ‘complete package’ of JayBird Byrne is stunning, not just the youth of a guitar prodigy.
