Nightbirde is from Zanesville in Ohio and at 30 years old has already had cancer three times in her life. She has now been given a 2% chance of survival.

"But 2% is not zero percent," she said after singing her song on AGT.

Fans are especially inspired by her positivity and comment after she sung:

"You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy."

The original song "It's Okay" which Nightbirde sung for AGT was released as a single in 2020, with both a dance mix and softer "cry" mix.

Marczewski is also vulnerably and beautifully shares her journey with cancer, her marriage breakup, and her faith in God with fans on her blog.

I was a universe of swollen questions, slouching in the passenger seat. I stared out the window through the flatlands, and the tunnels under mountains, through the snow and the hills and the rain and the heat. I let it all pass through me. Grief can take so many forms.  --Jane Marczewski
