Karen LeFrak, a 79-year-old composer, is reflecting on how she launched a professional music career late in life after being discovered in her 70s by music producer David Foster. Foster recognised her talent after she showed him her compositions, helping her release her debut album in 2021, and her work has since surpassed 60 million streams. Her story stands out as an example of finding artistic success and recognition at an age when many people are winding down.

LeFrak spoke to Fox News Digital about her latest album, "American Promise," which was commissioned for the United States' 250th anniversary. She prepared five new compositions to mark the occasion and describes music as "a great unifier". Before her chance discovery, LeFrak says she had never seriously considered pursuing a professional career in music.
