Carlet Page/MBC/PA WireA teenager who has played the drums alongside A-list artists is featured in a new documentary.
Suffolk musician Nandi Bushell, who lives in Ipswich, appeared in an episode of ‘My Life’ on CBBC, which follows children with extraordinary lives.
Nandi said: “When I watched the documentary back, I was like yeah ‘I have had some pretty incredible experiences’.”
The 14-year-old began drumming at the age of five and recently released her first single with her band. Having performed alongside global stars including the Foo Fighters and Lenny Kravitz, Nandi said: “I am just a normal kid. I practice a lot. I have been really lucky.”
“I just get along with my day. I go to school and meet up with my friends and practice- and on the weekends I do extraordinary stuff,” she added.
Along her journey, she has appeared on Good Morning America and CBS Mornings as well doing a book signing and Q&A at a Barnes & Noble bookstore in the city.
Shaun Whitmore/BBCJohn Bushell, Nandi’s father, said: “She is extremely relaxed and doesn’t get nervous.”
He continued: “The first edit I saw, I could not keep myself from crying.
“Seeing it condensed into 30 minutes was quite an amazing experience.”
Nandi added: “I am excited for what is to come. I would love to write more songs and perform gigs with my band and go with the flow.”
The 14-year-old was featured in an episode of ‘My Life’ on CBBC on Friday.
