There was shock on Tuesday at the news that BlackByrd singer Tamsyn Maker had died. Maker, along with Tarryn Lamb and Axene Prinsloo, were the founding members of the South Africa pop group in 2012. The band formed after Lamb posted an advert on Gumtree looking for other musicians to start an all-girl group. Within a couple of months, they were signed by EMI and released their debut album, Strong.
Maker and Lamb are cousins, but weren’t aware they were related and only met after Lamb invited her to audition to be part of ‘La Vuvuzela’ – the previous name of the band.
BlackByrd’s sound is firmly rooted in pop-country with ballads about love and heartbreak. BlackByrd have performed as opening acts for a number of international artists, including Mike + The Mechancis and Jamiroquai.
