America’s Got Talent star Jane Marczewski, known as Nightbirde, took the world by emotional storm with her 2021 performance of “It’s Ok.” The heavy lyrics sang by the late cancer patient earned her the Golden Buzzer Award from a somber Simon Cowell.
Cowell also wrote the foreword for the Nightbirde Foundation’s Poems in the Dark, a collection of poems written by Jane during her battle with cancer.
Nightbirde’s selflessness was unmasked at all times and she never missed an opportunity to serve others. In 2021, while weak in her illness, she recorded a video for a 16-year-old cancer patient, Riley Blue, to encourage her to continue living her life to the fullest.
Nightbirde passed away on February 19, 2022, but her inspiration had only begun to take flight.
Since then, covers of “It’s Ok” have graced the internet and even reappeared on the AGT stage.
But among the many touched by Nightbirde’s global inspiration is her younger sister, Kate Marczewski. A registered nurse by trade, Kate leads worship at Cornerstone Church in Duncan Falls, Ohio, and has been a musician since childhood.
On December 29, Nightbirde’s birthday, Kate
