On the Little Big Shots episode “Tour de Harvey,” host Steve Harvey welcomes a number of talented girls on stage including professional cyclist Ruby Isaac, Taekwondo champion Channah, and drum prodigy Milana Nigro. The 10-year-old has been drumming since the age of 4. She’s been a Top 20 Finalists at the “Hit Like a Girl” drum contest for the past four years and has performed on stage with Stewart Copeland of The Police, among others.
On the Little Big Shots stage, Milana gets to meet her idol, four-time Grammy Award nominated drummer Sheila E. The goddaughter of Tito Puente, Sheila E. has led an interesting professional and personal life. She toured with Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Prince, and Ringo Starr, before launching her solo career. She was once engaged to the late great Prince and “pretty much” engaged to Santana when she was just 18. She recorded many of her stories in her 2017 memoir, The Beat of My Own Drum (SEE LINK ABOVE). Little Big Shots airs Sundays at 8pm on NBC.
