My First Ever Stage Performance - AGT Audition! Maya Neelakantan From India - 10 Years Old

I am sure most of you might have seen this video already when AGT posted this recently. Since then it has gone viral! Today, I am posting the same video on this channel so users who are following me and might have missed this can see this and also this is a keepsake for my memory too. This was surely a super fun day! And this was the first time ever that I am performing on stage and it is such an honor that it was on America's Got Talent where over 10 million people viewed it!

Have listened to several of your covers on KZbin, Maya and your skill with both bass and guitar is outstanding. That a little girl of 10 years, from the other side of the world could influence an old man of 57 years from Sweden with her music, I could never believe and that your skill, with the instruments Maya. Would bring tears to this old man from Sweden. I really did not believe and I wonder if you yourself could imagine that someone from the other side of the world and who is so much older than yourself, would shed tears of joy down their cheeks, just because you play so well and professionally. I wish you all the best in life Maya and I truly believe you will go far in the music industry when you grow up and get a little older. Thanks to you, Maya and other young talents around the world. This is how both I and other metal fans around the world see a bright and continued future for our beloved music, and I am sure that all famous artists in the metal world agree with me in this. Good luck Maya, greetings from Sweden.

[@Spashth]

I completely agree with you; somehow, I got hooked on this performance. I hope she continues to learn and grow, and I wish God protects her from all evils. You are making me cry!

[@MsBleau]

Have you seen the vid of her playing Slayer at 7 ?

[@MayaNeelakantan]

Thank you so much! It means a lot! 🙏😊

[@ChristianHostettler-j6u]

Young lady, a little message from a 54 year old man. When I saw your session, I had to cry. I've been listening to rock and heavy metal for 40 years, but what you've delivered here in this short time puts everything I've heard before in the shade. I'm not a religious person, but thanks to you I know that there is a goddess of music. You can be proud of yourself. All the best for your future and best wishes from Switzerland. I hope to hear a lot more from you in the last third of my life.
