People Who Helped Me For AGT!

It's been an amazing couple of days since my AGT was released and I am so happy to see so many people really enjoying my performance. While I enjoy this special moment, I feel it's really important for me to thank all the special people who have been my pillars in reaching where I'm now and supporting me on my performance for AGT.

Starting from Adam Jones (guitarist from TOOL), who is the first one to introduce me to the world & encouraged my passion for music to a level that could never be described, then my teacher Guitar Prasanna (Carnatic/Jazz Musician) who is always there for me every single time and helping me all the way through, Gary Holt (Exodus/Slayer Guitarist) who believes in me so much & goes out his way to support me, encourage me & be there for me, Jessica Pimentel (Actress, Singer & Guitarist) who is like a big sister to me, inspires me & whom I feel so much closer to, the legendary Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson (Guitarists from Testament) who continue to teach me so much & make me a better guitar player, Cesar Gueikian (Gibson CEO) who always encourages me to follow my dream, KayCee from the Cliff Burton Family (Metallica) is like a family to me who is always so loving, caring & guides me, the amazing AGT crew who are always so positive, very understanding & so kind to make sure I feel comfortable and prepared for the show, and last but definitely not the least, my family!!!

I had to convince my family so I can mention them in this video because they are always the ones who are behind the spotlight, sacrificing everything for me and expecting nothing in return! They always make me so happy & without them I will not be able to follow my passion, meet so many incredible people and have the best experiences in life which is just like a dream!

I am so grateful that I am blessed with so many amazing people guiding me all the way and have the honor of learning directly from these Guitar Gods. So Thank You All!

How many kids shout out like this to their mentors, and do it so articulately? What a winner.

[bavanitan]

Gary Holt flew down to watch and helped tune her guitar! That's a gesture of a true master!

[MsBleau]

What a beautiful young lady. Your thankfulness and appreciation show what kind of person your parents are raising. Congratulations

[silverowl]

I am legally blind, and simply love, listening to music. After hearing you on America’s got talent I was simply blown away. I am now and forever a new, huge fan! Keep on rocking!🤘🎸

[sapandream]

Oh my god, i was really doubted that you are not 10year old. But after seeing this I am sure You are a 10year kid. The emotion you have shown during guitar gift from adam jones is really so honest and so pure, only a kid can show that ❤. Please be this and Rock the stage 🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just saw your audition and i can guarantee you that all the metal and rock lords are smiling from up above watching you play, and as an Indian too, you've made my country proud

[sharileighretsof]

You bring tears to my eyes. I’ve watched you for years. Before you received the guitar from Adam Jones. ❤ I love watching you grow! I cannot wait to see where your journey takes you!❤❤❤. You are very sweet and humble Maya. Your gratitude to your parents and little brother warms my heart. You bring joy to millions and I’m cheering for you!!!❤❤❤❤

Not only does she have “out of this world” talent, but she’s such an AMAZING person.
Love her ❤️

[millerbeer]

I'm giving you a standing ovation 👏🏼.. I, along with what looks like thousands of others, are incredible proud of you plus those around you and we are truly witnessing something special. I've been telling people for years and years, that there is no better community than the metal community. We can't wait to see what gift you give to the world next! Angry spider, ACTIVATE!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[NoNotMe]

You're a breath of fresh air in a weary world!😌

[mokshaanirvaana]

Talent is good.
But what is much more important is being humble, human, down to earth, simplicity.
Thanking each and every person on this incredible journey, being grateful, also shows her upkeeping and values her parents have instilled in her.
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST DEAR MAYA ❤

[kreedarudraaksh]

Oh MAYA ... When I heard your audition I heard Lord Shiva's energy coursing thru the whole session .... I met Him in your music dear .... Wish you the highest level of success love and popularity for Shiva is in you and leading you GOD BLESS YOU sweetheart !!

[IsmailKarim]

This kid is going to be Epic... so talented and yet so humble in appreciation of those who have helped her. She learned that succeess is best when shared with people who appreciated you and yes you could be great on your your own but you will eventually be forgotten. So stay like this and you will be the G.O.A.T. and will always be remembered for your talents and achievements but also for your good mannered. Take a hint from the legends such as Khabib and Sadio Mane. They will be remembered long after their glory days are over for thier character. Fame will be a test for you and some have faltered for whatever reason.

[conrad]

God bless you Maya… You are a real talent. ❤

[davehconner]

What a delightful, talented, enthusiastic human being!! I want to hear more of her music.

[MyThoughtsX]

Wish you all the best Maya!! Whatever your dream is, you just have the right attitude to fulfil it.
I will be cheering for you.

[aliciacharline]

My lovely girl, your star will not only shine bright but will spark fires for generations to come. Never loose your energy, its infectious.
