-- Miami Beach, FL - May 30, 2025 - Eleven-year-old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Soleil River Nation has skyrocketed to the forefront of youth music talent with the piano rendition of her original composition, “Stepping Stones.” The piece captured the coveted Original Composition winner at the prestigious Young Talent Big Dreams 2025 competition, marking her second major accolade of the year following the success of the guitar version released earlier this spring.
Originally published in its guitar arrangement on March 05, 2025, “Stepping Stones” quickly garnered acclaim across every major music platform for its introspective lyricism and uplifting melody. Soleil’s decision to reimagine the track for solo piano highlights her versatility as both a composer and performer, breathing new emotional depth into the song’s narrative of perseverance and personal growth.
“Music has been my way of charting each step of my journey,” said Soleil River Nation. “With the piano version of ‘Stepping Stones,’ I wanted listeners to feel every triumph and challenge as if they were moving forward one key at a time. Winning Young Talent Big Dreams has been an incredible honor—it’s a reminder that every small step truly matters.”
