Brye song that hit 100M streams was produced in GarageBand on school iPad

Brye said her viral hit “Lemons” was made in GarageBand on a school-issued iPad with a cheap plug-in mic.

The song has since surpassed 100 million streams, showing that low-cost tools can still produce commercial success.

Brye later said she now uses more advanced studio equipment, but credited GarageBand as the starting point.

The story spotlights GarageBand and Apple’s broader creative software as accessible entry-level music-making tools.
