Biography

M. Byrd’s music expands moments of stark intimacy to widescreen proportions bolstered by shoegaze scope, alternative fearlessness, and pop palatability. The German singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer unearths universality from intensely personal songwriting. He traces the genesis of his passion for music back to moments playing the drums in front of the television at three-years-old. Eventually, he found his father’s guitar. He embraced inspirations as diverse as Alice Coltrane, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and Elliott Smith as well as legendary filmmaker David Lynch. Encouraged by a teacher, he picked up electric guitar and attended countless roots jams sessions at local haunts. “I learned a lot of dynamics,” he recalls. “These memories are really important to me and have shaped the way i make music today. In return it had given me the opportunity to play music for a living.” His new album "The Seed" will be released June 16th via Nettwerk Music.
