Introduction
Meet Jadyn Rylee, a Canadian sensation whose voice has captivated hundreds of thousands online. At just 19 years old, she’s already amassed over 368,000 subscribers on YouTube—a remarkable feat for someone born on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2006. Her parents, Colin and Tara, fondly recall the moment they realized Jadyn’s gift: at age two, she would sing along to every tune in the house. By three, she’d mastered Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb,” and her family knew she was destined for something special.
One of Jadyn’s earliest viral moments came when she teamed up with drumming phenom Sina for a haunting cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence,” reimagined over Disturbed’s powerful arrangement. That performance alone has garnered more than 22 million views—you read that right, twenty-two million views! Such reception convinced her parents it was time to find professional instruction.
Tracking down a vocal coach for someone under eight proved tricky—but their persistence paid off when they connected with Aura Urziceanu. Aura began tutelage when Jadyn was six, nurturing her raw talent for two formative years. Later, Jadyn advanced her skills under Sarah Hyde, a performing artist turned coach, who guided her not only in technique but also in mastering the stage.
In 2015, nine-year-old Jadyn launched her YouTube channel, captivating viewers with heartfelt renditions of beloved hits. Combined, her videos have surpassed 77 million views—a staggering number even for seasoned artists in their thirties. Her most-watched clip remains “The Sound of Silence,” which alone has nearly 19 million views.
Beyond solo covers, Jadyn shines as part of the Mini Pop Kids, touring across Canada, performing on stage, learning choreography, and even filming TV commercials. Yet despite her busy schedule, she remains grounded, balancing schoolwork and family time with an unwavering passion for music.
Not content to simply interpret others’ work, Jadyn ventured into original material. She traveled from her home near Toronto to Nashville to collaborate with singer-songwriter-producer Curt Ryle at Big Matador Records. Together, they created her debut album, Voice of Change, a collection driven by Jadyn’s desire to spread kindness and raise awareness about school bullying through uplifting lyrics.
Her accolades speak volumes. In 2019, Jadyn was named Female Vocalist of the Year at the Josie Music Awards. That same year, she attended the Canadian Talent and Model Convention and landed a role in Sean Penn’s film Flag Day. The movie’s premiere at Cannes earned a four-minute standing ovation—an extraordinary honor for any artist, let alone a fourteen-year-old.
At nineteen, Jadyn is focused on her craft, education, and close-knit family—especially her younger sister, Devyn, who often appears in her social media posts. Romance can wait: for now, she channels all her energy into growth and creativity.
With merchandise, performances, and online revenue, Jadyn’s estimated net worth hovers around $500,000. It’s impressive to think she’s achieved all this before earning a driver’s license, let alone the right to vote. Watch this space—Jadyn Rylee is only just getting started.
