Like Nastya<\/a>, has become one of the biggest children\u2019s content creators on YouTube, with more than 132 million subscribers on her main channel and billions of monthly views across her platforms.<\/p>\nBorn in Russia and raised in South Florida, the 12-year-old content creator was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. <\/p>\n
Despite early concerns about her development, Radzinskaya and her family began creating videos together, eventually building a worldwide brand localized into multiple languages.<\/p>\n
Radzinskaya said performing has always been a dream.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, at a young age, I always wanted to sing,\u201d she said. \u201cI would sing in the shower or I would sing to my parents, and I would do a little show for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Like Nastya\u2019s online success has quickly expanded into music and live performances. But she said growing up online also came with challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably bullying when I was little, because sometimes when people saw my videos, they were like, \u2018Oh you look so weird in them,\u2019\u201d Radzinskaya said. \u201cBut that didn\u2019t take away my confidence and I just kept going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, she hopes her platform encourages other children to embrace confidence and individuality.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe confident, be yourself, be happy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Radzinskaya recently celebrated her first sold-out concert and said live performances have become one of her favorite parts of her career.<\/p>\n
\u201cA first it\u2019s weird, but I love to perform and I love big stages and big audiences,\u201d she said. \u201cSo when I\u2019m on stage, I can be myself and it\u2019s very fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
That same message carries into her music, including her song \u201cI\u2019m Gonna Shine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was about giving people self-confidence and not caring about the haters,\u201d Radzinskaya said.<\/p>\n
And while her career continues to expand, she hinted at another major project ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t reveal anything but you guys are probably gonna see me in a movie soon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
