“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore, before you decide to be happy” - NIGHTBIRDE
Jane Marczewski lived a beautiful life full of vision, creativity, and passion. As she pursued her career in music, she received news that no one saw coming: a breast cancer diagnosis. Determined to beat the odds, she fought for a miracle. In the midst of her fight Jane was invited to audition for America’s Got Talent and on June 8th, 2021 she performed her song, “It’s OK,” and won the hearts of millions and the AGT judges as she received Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer. The grasp of cancer was too strong for her body to overcome, and she dropped out of the AGT competition. Jane passed away on February 19, 2022, but left a lasting legacy of hope in Jesus that cannot be laid to rest, and her spirit is still impacting the lives of souls around the world through her music and her foundation.

“The trees are sleeping, no kindling to be gathered
All we have is what we have built when the days were long
And they have shortened their answer
To only an exhale”
An excerpt from NIGHTBIRDE’s poem titled “Winter” from her book of poetry “Poems for the Dark”.

Jane is here with us, continuing to inspire and encourage us no matter the hardships we go through, her light shines on.

“If my spirit could make a sound
It would crumble freeway bridges
It would shake the clouds so violently
That they would forget how to be clouds
Just like l've forgotten what it feels like To be whole”
A beautifully raw excerpt from Jane’s poem “Whole” on her battle with cancer. The poem is now available on the Nightbirde website. Link below.
We hope this poem gives you a deeper glimpses into the human Jane was 🕊️ 🤗 🕊️ 🙏 🕊️

"When Cancer found me,
He pulled me by the wrist up high where the air is thin.
He showed me the movement in the world;
the sun and the rain and the wind,
but reminded me that I felt nothing.
He kept me awake in the night until I begged for sleep.
Until my skin and bones were an anthill on the bathroom floor.
Until the snot ran down my chin like tears.
You are alone. You are alone. You are alone."
An excerpt of Nightbirde's poem "A Break In The Treeline"

We feel Jane had so many poems, songs and more that expressed what she was going through and what she believed in. We feel these words are going to help many people around the world heal. We continue to share Jane's art out, because we feel if it helps in healing or giving hope to at least one person, then Jane's purpose is further fulfilled. We hope Jane's words give a voice to the voiceless and give hope to the hurting.

A message from Jane’s big brother Mitch Jr:
Amazing time at the world premiere of @KingofKingsAnimation with @AngelStudiosInc . The @_nightbirde and @thenightbirdefoundation team was honored to play a small role in this film by partnering through Jane’s music. The King of Kings team are beyond amazing and @angelstudios_inc is one of the best in the business.
I can’t encourage you enough to go see this film about the greatest story ever told. It’s funny, powerful, and life changing. It will be a film we watch with our kids every Easter to remind ourselves of Christ’s life, death and resurrection so that we might have life.
Go get your tickets today at a theatre near you. It’s worth every penny.

"I'm a little less human than I was before
Cut apart like a doll and sewn back together
With cursive stitches
They borrow my blood
And put it in a category
It's a passionate burgundy
But it's still in the vial
And I am still sitting here
Exactly as I shouldn't be"
An excerpt from Nightbirde's Poem "Human" from her book of poetry "Poems for the Dark".

Wow! What a gift to have more of Jane's music in the world. What we know about Jane's art is IT HEALS. You all have flooded us with messages, emails, comments and more expressing how much Jane has changed your lives and continues to give you all hope. That fills our hearts with so much joy while also carrying the sadness of not having Jane here. She often spoke to carrying those opposite/conflicting emotions simultaneously.
Thank you to Billboard, NBC, Yahoo Entertainment, Talent Recap and more for covering the story of Nightbirde's album. We are sure Jane is smiling down on all of this and all of you.
A gentle reminder all proceeds of all things Nightbirde funnels right into The Nightbirde Foundation helping women like Jane throughout their breast cancer journeys through hope and healing. Nightbirde sized Hope.

Wow! Jane would quite literally be jumping out of her seat to know that @AngelStudiosInc and the "King of Kings" film chose her song "Fly" for the movies trailer. She loved hearing/seeing her music in big places such as film, tv, and commercials but this one would take the cake for Jane. And on top of that, she would've been so proud to have her music tandem to the greatest story ever told, the story of Jesus.
Check out the full trailer here and don't forget the movie hits theaters on Easter

Thank you @NBC for covering NIGHTBIRDE’s posthumous release “Gold” that released today. A song Jane wrote about finding the light in the darkness, the hope in the hopeless and searching for “Gold” moments even when it felt like she would never find it. Jane always did a great job of communicating the hard things in such an effortless ways.

“You don’t have to wait until your cancer goes away before you decide to be happy,” her brother @mitchm114 said, echoing Jane’s own words she uttered during her famed AGT audition. “You don’t have to wait until your prognosis is awesome before you decide to live your life.”

You can now stream “Gold” on all streaming platforms and also find the link for the NBC exclusive article in the link in bio.

“Tell them, my dear, that if eyes are made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being.” Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote this line as part of a poem about contemplating the purpose of a flower. And after finding no function for it at all, he shrugs and concludes that its purpose is beauty and nothing else.
There are some wonderful things on earth that are essentially meaningless, like as the song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and the giant silver bean in Chicago. If the Creator made flowers and watercolor sunsets and fireflies, which are completely unnecessary, I would say that we have permission to do the same.”
These words from Jane’s blog rocked us. It felt like a message she was trying to get to the world. So, giving these words to you all as we release her art felt like poetry in itself.
“Empire” by Nightbirde ft @KonataSmall is out now. A song for the weary hearted to feel strong, empowered and hopeful again. A fun fact, “empire” released today on @konatasmall’s birthday and just 2 days before NIGHTBIRDE’s heavenly birthday, only God and Jane could’ve orchestrated something on this level, because we didn’t know it was Konata’s birthday, just days before Jane’s, until we set the release date. 😂 🕊️ Jane is up there still having her hands on these releases 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️
