Jadyn Rylee, a 17-year-old musical prodigy from Canada, has already amassed an impressive 368,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel. Born on February 14, 2006, Jadyn’s parents, Colin and Tara, recall her singing as early as two years old. By three, she had mastered Miley Cyrus’ The Climb, leaving her family in awe of her natural talent.
Her journey to stardom includes a remarkable collaboration with YouTube drumming sensation Sina. Together, they performed a powerful cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence, inspired by Disturbed’s version. The video has garnered over 22 million views, solidifying Jadyn’s place as a rising star.
A Gift Nurtured from the Start
Recognizing her talent, Jadyn’s parents sought a vocal coach, but many schools hesitated to work with children under eight. Undeterred, they found Aura Urziceanu, who began training Jadyn at six. After two years, Jadyn transitioned to working with Sarah Hyde, a performing artist and vocal coach, who helped refine both her vocal and performance skills.
Jadyn launched her YouTube channel in 2015 at just nine years old. Performing covers of iconic songs, her channel has amassed over 77 million views. Her most popular video, Sound of Silence, boasts an impressive 19 million views alone.
From Covers to Originals
Beyond her YouTube success, Jadyn joined Mini Pop Kids, a Canadian teen group known for touring, performing, and starring in TV commercials. Despite her young age, Jadyn also ventured into original music. Traveling to Nashville, she collaborated with Curt Ryle of Big Matador Records to create her debut album, Voice of Change. Through her music, Jadyn addresses issues close to her heart, such as bullying, striving to spread messages of love and support.
Accolades and Acting Success
Jadyn’s talent has earned her numerous accolades, including Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2019 Josie Music Awards. She also showcased her versatility as an artist by acting in the movie Flag Day, directed by Sean Penn. The film premiered at Cannes, receiving a four-minute standing ovation—a rare achievement for someone so young.
A Balanced Life
Despite her extraordinary accomplishments, Jadyn remains grounded, focusing on her studies, music, and family. Her younger sister, Devyn, often appears on her social media, showing a glimpse of her personal life.
