MYLO NAOMI'S JOURNEY
Mylo Naomi’s story is one of resilience. Even before she was born, she started building the kind of strength and determination that would define her path. Those traits have carried her through a childhood full of challenges, shaping her into the tenacious and empathetic human she is today.
Growing up, Mylo’s life was full of transitions. At eight years old, her mom made the brave decision to leave a strict environment that could have stifled the vibrant and creative person Mylo was becoming. That choice gave her the space to explore her passions and figure out who she truly is.
As a gender-fluid artist, Mylo shows other young humans like her what it looks like to live authentically. She’s all about confidence and individuality, and she inspires others to embrace their uniqueness and break free from expectations.
Music has always been part of Mylo’s soul. Some of her earliest memories are of dancing and singing, but it wasn’t until she was nine that she picked up the ukulele and acoustic guitar and started teaching herself how to play. That was the start of something big. At 16, she found the bass guitar, and it changed everything. Within a year, she earned a spot in School of Rock’s elite Show Team—an audition-only group—where she thrived as one of their top bassists.
These days, Mylo is proficient on both 4-string and 5-string bass guitars and has even taken up the upright bass, adding more depth to her skills and passion for all kinds of music. Her bold personality shines through her signature pink 5-string bass, while the upright bass lets her tap into a more classic and soulful vibe. Everywhere she plays, people can’t help but notice her incredible stage presence. She’s known for losing herself in the music and syncing effortlessly with any band she joins. Mylo leads with her energy, often “dancing” along as she plays, setting her apart in a field still dominated by stoicism and male counterparts.
For Mylo, music isn’t just a hobby—it’s her safe place, her joy, and the way she connects with the world. Through her struggles with anxiety and depression, music has always been there, giving her purpose and healing. One of her dreams is to play in a Broadway pit orchestra someday, blending her love of performing with her passion for storytelling.
With her 18th birthday around the corner, Mylo has big plans. She’s staying with the School of Rock program through her 19th birthday and has her sights set on Berklee School of Music in New York. Her goal? To earn a degree in music education and become the kind of positive influence she once needed herself.
When she’s not learning songs by ear or creating her own bass lines, Mylo is searching for opportunities to share her talent. She’s ready to bring her creativity, heart, and skill to anyone looking for a bassist who truly understands the power of music.
