The Talented Musicians of Wrizzards at Songbyrd
Wrizzards, composed of four young and talented Filipino musicians, share their journey with music. Their experiences growing up surrounded by music shaped their musical styles and preferences. From their parents’ involvement in bands to church band affiliations, their collaboration was a natural progression. Although they haven’t been playing together for long, their collective efforts have already yielded impressive results. Disco vibes can be felt in their collaboration on “Lucid,” a song with captivating bass lines, hand claps, and shimmering synths. Additionally, Leif co-wrote the soulful R&B groover, “You Changed Me,” which seamlessly transitions from acoustic ballad to a deep reflection on late nights, missed calls, and the scars of a failed relationship. At the upcoming show at Songbyrd, each member of the collective will showcase their individual talents before uniting to perform the songs they have created together.
