“Irreplaceable” & “Nearer, My God, to Thee” - Madilyn Paige

Accomplished singer Madilyn Paige performs her original song “Irreplaceable” and her rendition of “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” Madilyn wrote “Irreplaceable” when she was just a sophomore in high school. The song reflects the feelings of insecurity and invisibility she was experiencing at the time. Now, after having performed on a nation-wide singing competition, Madilyn feels far from invisible. Her advice for aspiring performers is two-fold. “Figure out who you are first—not just as an artist, but as a person,” she says, “because there are going to be a lot of voices and a lot of opinions that try to change you and tell you what they think you should be… and when you know who you are and what your values are… that’s such an important thing to have first.”
