E44: It's A Hit

Dear Young Rocker: It's okay to feel restless. You'll bounce around a lot and feel that no one knows you, except your new friends on the internet and the people who watch you sing — the ones you think you'll never meet IRL, and maybe will, decades later. In this episode, Nadia plays her first show, begins high school in a new town, dreams of living in the city — and gets an unexpected email that will change her life forever. This season of Dear Young Rocker is written and hosted by Nadia Marie. Want to share your own Young Rocker experience? Connect with Nadia on Instagram and TikTok @NadiaMarieForever.
