Nandi Bushell has premiered a new video for her new song “The Shadows.” This track will appear on the musical prodigy’s upcoming EP “Into The Abyss.”
Bushell commented:
“Early in 2022 my Dad fell into a depression as his autoimmune disease worsened. It was a difficult time for our family. I wanted to help cheer my Dad up by writing a song for him. He would describe his feelings to me and I would put them into lyrics letting him know, I would be there for him.
My Dad is now doing much better, he is on medication that is helping with his autoimmune disease and has recovered from his depression.
If you are suffering from mental health issues, please reach out for help. If you know of any good charities, groups or organisation in your area please share them in the comments for others.
YOU ARE LOVED. THERE IS HOPE. “

“I am really excited for people to see my art. I love performing covers and have so much fun making the cover videos, but I also want people to know how much I love writing music too.”
“I hope my song can also help other people who are feeling down. I want them to know they are loved, too, and can find help if they need it.”

“Forty Six & 2 by Tool – This really was the most challenging drum cover I have done, so far! Lots and lots of complex timing changes and difficult patterns, its really fast in parts and its really long song too! I really enjoyed the challenge!!! I am now a #ProgRock fan! #DannyCarey – AMAZING beats!
My Uncle Ema LOVES #Tool, he has been playing me all their songs hoping I will cover one for a very long time. This one is for you Uncle Zombie. Tool are my most requested band to cover!

11-year-old musical prodigy Nandi Bushell has premiered a new video for her new song “The Children Will Rise Up.” This track features Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello and his son Roman and proceeds from it will go towards The SOS Pantanal Institute. Notably, the video for the single also features actor/musician Jack Black (Tenacious D) and climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Bushell commented:
“I am so proud of myself and Roman Morello for writing our EPIC song with Tom Morello! We hope you love it and we really hope our song helps raise awareness for climate change!
After learning about climate change at school I wanted to help make a difference.
I wanted to write a song about how I felt about climate change and asked Tom Morello and his son Roman Morello to collaborate with me. Once Roman and I had written the song we asked Jack Black and Greta Thunberg if they would like to be in the music video! They loved our song and wanted to join us in raising awareness for climate change!
In collaboration with Fridays For Future Brazil and England, branches of the global youth climate movement started by Greta Thunberg, all proceeds from ‘The Children Will Rise Up’ will be donated to the nonprofit organisation ‘The SOS Pantanal Institute’ – ‘Help Pantanal’ Instituto SOS Pantanal
We need to act now! Rise Up! Protest! Be Loving, Be Peaceful, Be Respectful, Be Sensible but BE POWERFUL!!!
Thank you Daddy, for making this music video.
Thank you Tom Morello and Roman for writing a song with me. Thank you Jack Black and Greta Thunberg for being in our music video. Thank you to everyone who has helped us release the song.
Thank you to Chad Blakely for creating and donating the awesome cover artwork!
Thank you to Roland, when my Daddys laptop was stolen, Roland replaced it to help him finish the music video. (Jamie you are awesome).”
