Kian was playing music before he could from complete sentences. Originally a fiddle player at the age of 3, Byrne discovered his dad's drum kit and couldn't stop experimenting with various sounds, instruments and styles.
Byrne comes from a musical family, on the Irish side, his father, Ian, and great-uncle, Eddie Doyle, and on the Mexican side, let's just say, everyone plays an instrument, in fact, his grandmother, Victoria Garcia Quinn, taught him how to play the Spanish guitar.
Music is in Kian's blood, All types of music, from playing classical violin in the Youth Symphony to playing bass and drums for his reggae band to playing the blues for legendary singer Cotton Candy to multi-instrumentalist on his solo career---and now vocals, drums, acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass guitar and song writer with The Elders, Byrne loves what he does and it shows.
