Nine-year-old Nandi Bushell loves to drum and has been sharing performances on YouTube since she was six. In this video, the British and Zulu drummer girl from Ipswich, England rocks Nirvana’s In Bloom. Drum face and rollercoaster-worthy screaming are in full effect.
And here’s Bushell performing Simple Minds’ Don’t You Forget About Me, which she also plays in Argos’ 2019 Christmas advertisement. Check out her Instagram:
From her practice, Bushell has enjoyed jamming with Lenny Kravitz, meeting Questlove and more.
