Young Legends features NEDY, singer and songwriter and founder of 4Ever Friends. It was 2016 when inspirational pop artist NEDY walked into a well-known restaurant in California, looking for a waitress job that would help her pay a growing pile of bills. She was quickly hired, but soon, she would find herself on a three-year journey of taunts and teasing and cutdowns from her very own co-workers. She was 27 years old, and she was being bullied. "I was left heartbroken by the experience," NEDY, 32. "I was being picked on for no reason. I guess I wasn't part of the clique. I was just being myself, and I could never do anything right in their eyes. I felt very lonely and spent a lot of time questioning myself and my self-worth." But one night after one extremely difficult shift at the restaurant, the budding songwriter decided to sit down with those hurtful feelings and write a song. And today, that empowering song is NEDY's first single, "Made to Be." "Writing 'Made to Be' was extremely healing to me," NEDY remembers of the song she ended up writing in 2019. "I started to realize that I can't help but be who God made me to be. And if you don't like it, I'm not sure what to say. That's who I am. No one should ever be hated on just because they are different or unique."
