MYLO NAOMI'S JOURNEY
Mylo Naomi’s story is rooted in resilience. Even before they were born, they began building the strength and determination that would define their journey. These qualities carried them through a childhood filled with challenges that shaped them into the tenacious, empathetic human they are today.
​
Growing up, Mylo’s world was rich with transitions. At just eight years old, her mother made the courageous choice to leave a strict environment that could have stifled the vibrant individual Mylo was becoming. This decision opened the door to a life where she could truly explore her passions and develop into her authentic self.
​
As a gender-fluid artist, Mylo sets an example for young humans like them who are searching for the freedom to live authentically. They embody confidence and individuality, inspiring others to embrace their uniqueness and break free from societal expectations.
​
Music has always been a part of Mylo’s soul. Their earliest memories include dancing and singing, but it was at age nine that they began teaching themselves to play the ukulele and acoustic guitar. These were their first steps toward the musician they would one day become. At 16, she discovered the bass guitar, a pivotal moment that launched her into the world of rock and roll. Within a year, she earned a place in the School of Rock’s elite Show Team, an audition-only group where she flourished as one of their advanced bassists.
Now proficient on both 4-string and 5-string bass guitars, Mylo has also started playing the upright bass, expanding their skills and deepening their love for all genres of music. Their signature pink 5-string reflects their bold and unique personality, while the upright bass allows them to explore a more classic and soulful side of music. Without fail, we receive comments about Mylo's remarkable stage presence. They get lost in their music, playing in perfect synergy with any band they join. Mylo is a natural leader on stage, known for “dancing” along with the rhythm as they play—an exuberance that sets them apart in a music field often dominated by stoicism and male counterparts.
​
Music has become much more than a hobby—it’s their refuge, their joy, and their way of connecting with the world. Through struggles with anxiety and depression, music has been their constant, offering healing and purpose. One of their dreams is to play in a Broadway pit orchestra someday, blending their love of performance with their passion for storytelling through music.
​
As they approach their 18th birthday, Mylo is chasing big dreams. They plan to continue with the School of Rock program through their 19th birthday and have their sights set on Berklee School of Music in New York. There, she hopes to pursue a degree in music education and become the kind of positive influence she once needed herself.
​
When they’re not learning new songs by ear or creating their own bass lines, Mylo is looking for opportunities to share their talent as a bassist. They’re ready to bring their skill, heart, and creativity to anyone seeking a musician who truly understands the power of music.
