Jane Marczewski, a 30-year-old singer who goes by Nightbirde, has been battling her third round of cancer. Cancer has spread to her lungs, spine, and liver, giving her only six months to live and a two percent chance of survival. Unbeknownst to others, her husband also left her during her cancer journey.
Despite all of the hardships she has gone through, she wants everyone to know that she’s “so much more than the bad things that happen to me.” She added, “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.”
She wrote about her struggles and how they ultimately strengthened her faith on her blog.
She views her last year as a gift, and she inspired everyone as she sang her original song, “It’s OK,” for her America’s Got Talent audition.
Her presence, voice, attitude, and authenticity all wowed the judges and the audience, who erupted into thunderous applause and a standing ovation. She also earned Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, which automatically moves her to the final rounds!
Nightbirde was amazed to find out that her audition video became viral and that her song hit number one on iTunes.
She shared a screenshot of the iTunes chart on Instagram, along with the caption, “Living in a dreamland.”
During an interview with NBC4i News in her native state of Ohio, she recalled how it was just over a year ago that she was given a prognosis of three to six months.
She shared, “I’ve been on a really hard journey, and a lot of that journey I’ve walked alone, or at least in secret. There’s a lot of hard battles you fight within yourself to be positive and stay present in the world, even when it hurts really bad to do that.”
“It’s really amazing to see the lessons that I’ve learned and the person that I’ve become…it’s now able to be a gift to other people,” she continued.
