The rise of music prodigy Nandi Bushell has been one of the most entertaining phenomenons to witness over the past few years. A multi-instrumentalist who plays drums, guitar, bass, and even saxophone, Bushell’s musicianship is always on point.

She has covered heavy bands like Rage Against the Machine, Tool, and RUSH on her channel, showcasing a diverse taste in music and an acute talent for playing it. Often the musicians themselves will applaud the young UK phenom after she drops a new cover.
