@@ubuntuber1619 I love Reflection too! I actually played this song when I was very very little. 😊 You can check out the full cover here: ua-cam.com/video/_4Vw08U_t1s/v-deo.html
The reception for Maya in USA by the metal legends is awesome . There is a reason why USA is great, there is so much humility and kindness in greatness. Maya herself is an unpretentious child. So comfortable in her culture and receptive to others. Way to go Maya. Go on and rock the world.
You have a fan in Israel! I was born here but my parents were originally from India (kerala). Much respect to you and your supporting family and kind regards to the Forbidden band who welcomed you so warmly! Keep doing your stuff, you are truly awesome!
I'm not a metal listener. Chanced upon this due to Carnatic connections. While Maya is truly a gifted guitarist, the Forbidden are the true musicians. They were humble, welcoming, warm human beings putting music ahead of egos. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this video for more than just the music. Thank you Forbidden and Maya.
The "Guru-Shishya parampara" ( roughly translates to Teacher-Student tradition) transcends cultures and genres. Just requires highly accomplished and humble humans who are life-long students of music ( like the band members of Forbidden) passing on their discipline , knowledge and skills to the next generation i.e. Maya. Way to go Maya and kudos to the Forbidden team.
Seriously, they look so intimidating, but glad we got to see their real personalities. We got to see their absolute love for their music and their child like pleasure in embracing a young talent. Such down to earth individuals. Thanks for sharing this video.
@@suchitraroy1758 I've met them all in person as well so can attest to how cool they are. Chris Kontos especially is active in the scene and you'll see him at a lot of shows in the Bay Area.
Listen girl, you are special and amazing, I watched the audition of A.G.T. Your melody split me in two, it was so good, it reached Israel from there, I wish there were children like you in the world, you are such an inspiration, even for me at the age of 45, kudos to you and the Indian flavor you brought to the melody is so good, all the praise to your father
Now I see where the confidence to wow the AGT judges and audience came from 🙂 Seriously, it seems these meetings with these legends came at just the right time, and I'm just dying to see what your next performances on AGT will be. You're going to introduce the mainstream American audience to true hard & heavy rock, which is really exciting!
@@denniseldridge2936 Thank you! 😊 I actually met them after my AGT taping. When I landed in US, AGT was my first, after that I met my inspirations while I was in US. 😃
Maya, you have like a billion people-plus who appreciate you and your talent. Live your life, don't be beholden to expectations, but work your ass off to achieve what you want to achieve.
In a way, although it is eventually really uttered, the awe and disbelief mixed with acknowledgement in their exchanges of looks, is the best part of this video.
I wish I could give this video ten thumbs up Maya! You are so good and you got to jam with one of my favorite bands of all time. So happy for you. Love the look on Craigs face and how he kept turning the amp up for you.
Even the biggest, scariest, most seasoned metal musicians are just big goofballs, loving how someone, of one of the generations weve all but given up on, gives them pause as a HUGE inarguable for the fact that reincarnation is REAL! Only question is How MANY past souls have found their voice & style AGAIN, in Maya! A living LEGEND by 11 yrs old???? YOU do the maths!!!! "bless and keep you Sweet Soul. You were BORN with the answer to the question of "who am I and why?" Its rhetorical within you making you an absolute force to be reckoned with and one of the luckiest souls alive. My partner is a musician and he and I together just cannot get enough I'm watching you take these megagods of metal and reduce them to complete jawdropped respect ! I also love how your dad went by the way of Brian MAY with astrophysicism and legendary RAWK!!!!! 🤘❣️💯
@@MayaNeelakantan So, did he make YOU cool, or was it the other way around!?!?!? I kid. I kid., 🤣 Much love and respect for BOTH your parents. Im friends with several very traditional Hindi families. In my friends, the mom is a traditional homemaker who supports her husband for his work and efforts. Both wives appreciate the toll it takes and even after their OWN, long tiresome day, they prepare for him to unwind and be ready for work the next day. And when she gets overwhelmed; too much to cater to him; she calls HER mom, who, in turn tells her what she MUST do as a PROPER Indian wife and mother.…..then, after 4 hours of hearing her OWN torturous birth story for the 1749462 time, she's finally exhausted. Then she hangs up with Mom and sleeps like a baby! 🤣🤣🤣 Bless you Sweet girl!!!! Just remember to be a kid too! Your talent is going anywhere....TRUST THAT! LOVE from yvette in South Carolina USA! 🤩
Honestly....I.wasn't really into metal music and did not know much about the community. However , since following Maya, I've come to realise they are a fantastic, so kind, fun-loving community of unique musicians.....Just really cool. I can see millions of Indians learning to shred a guitar
Dear Maya, You a blessing to music.I have watched you programme atleast a 100 times and am still watching every clip on U Tube. Great going and God bless
You are a pride of us my darling. I listen to everything u do...u are absolutely amazing my child. I love u..If anyone says anything otherwise...they don't know music. U are destined to be a pride of India my doll. We r proud of u and I freek out on everything u do. U are blessed and ur parents have given u the opportunity that not many know. They are wonderful and u are blessed my darling. We Indians are very proud of u my baby doll.❤

What metal fans dream their whole life❤❤❤, solo you have achieved it, God bless you 🙏
For this child riffs are just child's play. What a talent.
I wish I could give this video ten thumbs up Maya! You are so good and you got to jam with one of my favorite bands of all time. So happy for you. Love the look on Craigs face and how he kept turning the amp up for you.
It’s so endearing to see these grown men embracing a youngster into their community of music. Love it.
So fun! What an amazing talent you have Maya! Thank you for sharing it with us, worldwide!!!
Oh my God .... I'm in a Maya rabit hole, crying every video...can't tell you how proud I'm ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is going to singlehandedly bring back metal to the front...
She is incarnation of music goddess.....insanely beautiful ...those hands producing such music
