In a world where entertainment often serves as a beacon of light and hope, Biko Star stands out as a remarkable talent, touching lives with her music and vibrant personality.
As the latest addition to Nickelodeon’s Culture Squad, Biko Star is not only making waves in the entertainment industry but also spreading an incredible amount of love and positivity.
We had the pleasure of sitting down with her to discuss her journey, inspirations, and what she brings to the Culture Squad.
Question: Let’s talk about Biko Star for a moment. You are doing amazing things in the entertainment space whilst spreading so much Love, Joy and Positivity through music, how does this make you feel?
Honestly, it’s indescribable. Seeing my childhood dream come true before my eyes is surreal. I’ve always believed there was something special ahead for me, a light guiding my path. My wish was to make people happy through my voice and music, and witnessing that happen now is truly amazing.
The love I receive from supporters is incredible. When people tell me they’re healed by my voice or that I’ve made their day, it’s deeply touching. It makes me feel honoured, appreciated, and confirms that I have a real purpose in life.
Realising that I can use my gift to heal people, to bring joy and love into their lives – it’s not just amazing, it’s profoundly fulfilling. It’s the validation of that six-year-old girl’s dreams, and it pushes me to keep spreading positivity through my music.
Question: What is it like for you being in the Culture Squad?
Being in the Culture Squad with Nickelodeon is like a dream come true! It’s so exciting and fun, I sometimes have to pinch myself to make sure it’s real. Every day is a new adventure, and I’m learning so much!
The best part is getting to work with such amazing people who really care about making kids happy. Everyone in the Culture Squad is so talented and creative, and they’ve been so welcoming to me. It feels like being part of a big, colourful family where we all support each other and share ideas.
I love that Nickelodeon gives us the chance to be ourselves and celebrate what makes each of us unique. It’s awesome to be part of a team that wants to make a positive difference in children’s lives.
And can I just say, getting to be involved in all these cool Nickelodeon projects and events is absolutely incredible! From music to shows to games, there’s always something fun happening. I’m having the time of my life, and I’m so grateful to be able to share my music and spread joy as part of the Nickelodeon family.
Question: What is Biko Star bringing to the Culture Squad?
I’m bringing my whole heart, my voice, and all the love and joy I can spread through my music. You know, I’ve always dreamed of touching people’s lives, and now I get to do that with this amazing team.
Also, my passion for connecting with young people, because I remember being that little girl with big dreams. I want to show kids that their dreams are valid and possible. And of course, I’m bringing my African roots and pride – I can’t wait to showcase the incredible talent we have here!
Being part of the Culture Squad is like being in this awesome creative playground, and I’m so ready to collaborate, create, and have fun with everyone. Most importantly, I’m bringing my authentic self – a girl who believes in the power of positivity and healing through music. I hope to inspire and be inspired, to spread smiles, and to make a real difference in kids’ lives. I’m just so grateful and excited for this journey with the Culture Squad!”
Question: You are so young and already doing phenomenal things, no doubt you are inspiring other young stars, how do you stay inspired yourself?
It’s my family. They’re the backbone of my journey, always there with support and encouragement. Their belief in me gives me the strength to keep pushing forward, even when things get tough. I’m incredibly grateful for them – they’re such a huge part of my life. Honestly, they deserve a big shout-out!
But it’s not just my family. I find inspiration all around me – in the shows and movies I watch, the music I listen to, and the books I read. All these different forms of art and storytelling fuel my creativity and push me to grow as an artist.
I think it’s really important to surround yourself with positive influences and to always be open to learning from different sources. That’s what keeps my passion alive and helps me stay motivated on this exciting journey
Question: Have you ever wanted to be on a Nickelodeon show and which one was it?
I absolutely loved watching Nickelodeon when I was growing up – even as young as 5 years old! It’s funny, because I never imagined I’d actually be on Nickelodeon screens one day, let alone presenting. It’s like a dream I didn’t even know I had coming true!
You know, I can’t say there was a specific show I desperately wanted to be in, but I do remember fantasising about acting in one of those hilarious live-action series on Nickelodeon. Not the cartoons, but those funny shows with real people. I was always fascinated by the actors and how they could make everyone laugh so easily. Watching them brought me so much joy!
I used to imagine myself in their shoes, being part of those shows and making people laugh too. It was probably the only time I really thought about being on Nickelodeon – just daydreaming about starring in one of those daily comedy shows.
Looking back, it’s amazing to see how things have turned out. From being a little kid glued to the Nickelodeon channel to now actually being part of the Nickelodeon family – it’s been quite a journey!
Question: Can you give a word of encouragement to kids around the world your age who are aspiring to do great things?
To all my peers who dream of being where I am, I want to say this: Believe in your dreams. Believe, believe, believe in yourselves! I know you have goals and aspirations, and sometimes you might doubt yourself or think you can’t achieve them. But the one thing I’ve trained myself to do is to always believe.
But belief alone isn’t enough. You need to take action! Don’t just sit around waiting for things to happen magically – because they won’t. Whatever goals you want to achieve, start working towards them today. It takes practice to reach your destination, so make sure you’re putting in the effort every day.
Remember these three things: Believe in yourself, Take action and Practice, practice, practice
I know you’re all awesome, and you have the potential to achieve amazing things. So start believing in yourself, get out there, and make your dreams happen!
