Taking on the world stage with Paige

In Episode 16 of When I Grow Up, Sienna and her dad, Ben, chat with Kiwi musician Paige about her incredible journey and the celebrity fans she's won over. Paige proves that you can make it from anywhere—her music, created and shared from New Zealand, has caught the attention of stars like Billie Eilish, the Jonas Brothers, Lizzo, and even Lewis Hamilton.

• Billie Eilish Following Her: Paige shares a hilarious story about the moment she discovered Billie Eilish was following her on social media—it happened in a rather embarrassing and unexpected location, where she was literally caught with her pants down! She recounts Billie sharing her music, attending a concert with Billie’s mom, and even meeting Billie Eilish in person.
• Putting Yourself Out There: From performing songs in her bedroom as a child to taking the stage with the Jonas Brothers, Paige talks about how putting her music online opened up doors she never imagined. She offers fantastic advice for anyone nervous about sharing their work and reveals her unique approach to handling online haters.
• The Path to Success: Despite her high-profile fans, Paige emphasizes that success takes hard work. She discusses the ups and downs of her career, from balancing a day job to conquering stage fright—like the time she performed with her teenage idols, the Jonas Brothers. Paige also highlights those magical moments that make it all worthwhile, like hearing her song on the radio for the first time while at KFC.
