Growing Up with Delia Burgess

Ep. 100 - Grace Nikae: child prodigy, wanting to be "normal" and the freedom to change careers


Listen Later

Grace Nikae began touring internationally as a concert pianist at 13 years old...

(I was going to ask her the definition of "child prodigy" and then found out she'd been on TV as a 3 y.o. solving algebraic equations and reading from a Mark Twain novel, so checks out.)

Grace has done many incredible things (e.g. after leaving her international solo career she wrote 8 best selling novels under a pseudonym, taught herself to code and somehow ended up as marketing director of a 5 star hotel in Hawaii, started a TikTok on leadership and grew her audience to 80k followers etc. etc.)

HOWEVER this conversation is really about the human story underneath all of that. Loneliness, suffering, isolation. What triggered the decision to leave music. Her attitude to following her curiosity. We all need to feel loved and that we belong 💛

Very special conversation xx
