YouTube: 7 YEAR OLD INDIA DOES HER FIRST RAP! | REFLECTIONS!
SALT LAKE CITY In a matter of 25 seconds, 8-year-old India Boyé can tell you about her biracial family and why she matters in a rap that s won hearts and national recognition.
The rap is part tribute to her parents but also answers the question posed by the 2020-21 National PTA Reflections contest theme, which for 2020-2021 was I Matter, Because.
India, a second grader at Canyons School District s Willow Canyon Elementary School, composed the rap in her bedroom while her family was cooped up at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recently, the National PTA announced that Boyé s song, Indi-rap, was winner of an award of excellence in the music composition category of the national contest. India will receive a silver medal, certificate, $200 scholarship, and her work will be featured in a traveling exhibition.
