Jane Kristen Marczewski (December 29, 1990 – February 19, 2022), better known by her stage name Nightbirde, was an American singer-songwriter. Previously having released two EPs and several singles, Nightbirde auditioned on America's Got Talent in 2021, where she received a Golden Buzzer for her original song "It's OK". However, she decided to withdraw from AGT before the quarterfinals, because of worsening health due to cancer. Marczewski died on February 19, 2022. She was 31 years old. Nightbirde's music has been released posthumously by her family.
