Inspired by her father, who played the guitar as a hobby, Maya taught herself to play starting at age 6. \u201cMy biggest dream is to create my own music,\u201d Maya shared with the AGT viewers backstage.<\/p>\n

\"AGT'<\/p>\n

Maya\u2019s debut performance began with a haunting tune played in the style of a Veena, a traditional Indian instrument. Her finger movements and style resembled a classical performance. But then, the tune changed, the atmosphere shifted, and Maya transformed into a rockstar, surprising everyone.<\/p>\n

Maya covered the nu-metal hit \u201cLast Resort\u201d by Papa Roach. The song, known for its distinct shouting vocals and eight-note guitar riffs, became a millennial anthem. Papa Roach themselves noticed Maya\u2019s performance, commenting on her Instagram post, \u201cLet\u2019s gooo!! Absolutely killed it, Maya!\u201d Maya expressed her happiness at their recognition, saying she was \u201cvery happy\u201d that they were impressed.<\/p>\n

The AGT judges were equally impressed. Sofia Vergara wondered aloud if Maya was really just 10 years old, calling her set \u201cthe perfect audition.\u201d Heidi Klum described her as \u201cabsolutely incredible\u201d and \u201cgutsy,\u201d encouraging Maya to be proud of herself.<\/p>\n

Simon Cowell shared his own struggles with learning the guitar at a young age, praising Maya for turning into a \u201crock goddess\u201d despite her shy demeanor.<\/p>\n

Maya\u2019s performance not only earned her four yeses from the judges but also went viral, as Mandel predicted, resonating in the rock world and beyond.<\/p>\n
