BlackByrd soars higher
Mail & Guardian
|M&G 29 August 2025
Whether you're watching them on stage or chatting on a Google call, there’s a sisterly bond that pulls you in.
-
Tasha recalled meeting founding member Tarryn in 2018 during a TV production. One night, she and Tarryn found themselves sharing a quiet dinner and an unexpected connection was formed.
“That moment became the beginning of something magical,” Tasha says with a smile. “Since then, it’s been a wild ride.”
“We're honestly like sisters,” Tasché echoes. “When we're apart, even for a weekend, I miss them. It’s that deep.”
It’s this bond, equal parts friendship, family and artistry that gives BlackByrd its edge. The music is good, yes. But it’s the love between them that makes it unforgettable.
One of the most surprising things about BlackByrd is how deeply involved they are in their craft — not just as singers, but as musicians, writers and producers.
“We're hands-on from the beginning,” Tasché explains. “From sitting with the producer to shaping the sound, we're there. Each of us brings something different to the table.”
Tasché, for example, has a keen ear for production elements. Tarryn is the vocal mastermind. And Tasha brings that spark of creative energy that ties everything together.
Their studio sessions are collaborative, intentional and emotionally raw: “We always ask ourselves, ‘If we were hearing this song for the first time, would it move us? Would it connect?’” Tarryn says.
The result? Music that feels lived in. Songs that resonate not because they're trendy but because they're true.
