At just 13 years old, Seattle’s own Vox Realis is already commanding attention in the global guitar and metal scene. His debut single, “Overkill,” arrives as a high-voltage statement of intent, produced by Adair Daufembach (Angra, Megadeth, Kiko Loureiro) and featuring Felipe Andreoli (Angra) on bass and Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth) on drums. With Vox himself handling guitar duties, the track showcases a player whose skill, tone, and compositional maturity defy his years.
“‘Overkill’ is more than just a debut—it’s a statement,” says producer Adair Daufembach. “Vox Realis is the rare kind of player who combines feel, speed, and purpose. He’s not just talented for his age—he’s talented, period.” The track bursts with technical precision, molten riffs, and melodic weight, channeling the fire of guitar legends like Marty Friedman, Joe Satriani, and Dimebag Darrell while carving a path that’s uniquely his own.
Already recognized as one of the youngest rising stars in the guitar world, Vox has been featured in Guitar World Magazine as a “young artist to watch” and has appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Seattle Refined, KING 5, and KEXP Radio—where he made his broadcast debut at just 10 years old. He continues to hone his craft under the mentorship of GRAMMY-winning guitarist Kiko Loureiro (Megadeth, Angra), combining formal training with boundless creativity.
Outside the studio, Vox hosts his own viral series Metal For Breakfast, where his jaw-dropping performances and imaginative takes on iconic solos have drawn fans from across the world. With “Overkill,” he proves he’s not just a prodigy—he’s a full-fledged artist ready to redefine the sound and spirit of modern guitar music. Backed by some of metal’s finest, Vox Realis is not just the future of guitar—he’s the now.
