ABOUT MADISON'S MUSIC AND EVOLUTION OF SOUND: Madison's sound and style have evolved over the last 5 years, as she has organically grown and matured in her life, career and songwriting abilities. Growing up on Kauai, it was the natural thing for Madison, as a young artist, to start her songwriting style with the soft acoustic sound of an ukulele, then acoustic guitar, that was so comfortable and familiar, a sound influenced by listening to Colbie Callait and Jack Johnson. As one listens to Madison's first two albums, in comparison to her 3rd body of work, written between the ages of 16 to 18 years old, you can discover the changes that have naturally evolved in her music, as she has grown older. Picking up and loving the electric guitar over the last couple of years, she has definitely evolved her sound today into a more current progressive Indie Pop / Rock sound. Madison creates all of her own originals and has a prolific body of work with over 100 solid originals, many not yet produced. She continues to write, so of course her body of work continues to grow. Madison's talents have been compared to current artists such as Hozier and James Bay, and the rich songwriting abilities of Ed Sheehan and John Mayer. It has also been said you can detect influence from Jeff Buckley, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles in her sound and rich storytelling abilities. These are all artists and bands from the past and present that she listens to and loves. Some say her mature lyrics have a hint of poetic genius and quality of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. As far as her voice is concerned, many have said that Madison exudes the richness of tones and dynamics of Adele, the soul of Amy Winehouse, the rock edge of Pink, and the youthful charisma and genius of her contemporary, Lorde. MADISON'S STORY - FROM KAUAI TO LA - Madison has recently relocated to the US Mainland to produce her next bodies of work, working with top producers to broaden and polish her sound, and expand her career to an international level.. MORE ABOUT MADISON'S PAST & FOUNDATION - GROWING UP ON KAUAI - Most find it quite amazing how much this young Indie-Pop / Rock musician, from Hawaii, has accomplished in such a short amount of time in her young life. With many media articles already written about Madison, in multiple island & worldwide publications, it has been said: "Madison is a rare treasure, worth seeking out & discovering while on Kauai.." AND... "This young blonde-haired, blued-eyed rising star, with that smoky, velvety voice to fall in love with, is destined to grow her music & career far beyond the shores of Hawaii". These independent endorsements alone, continually brought new audiences to exclusive, top-rated Kauai venues like The St. Regis Resort, for 3+ years, where a growing fan base discovered Madison & her music, and kept coming back for more. Everyone, both visitors and locals alike, say they feel the loss of her absence from the local Hawaii music scene now, yet recognize that it was just a matter of time until this island treasure would move to the US mainland, in order to expand her career, & take her talent & music to a broader worldwide audience. Even with Madison's absence from the island, she will always consider Kauai "Home," and Kauai will consider her their "Island Girl". Music from Madison's first two albums , plus her new single "Call Me Love", can still be heard, multiple times a day, on multiple island radio stations, as well as on satellite radio around the world. DETAILS OF MADISON'S FULL TIME MUSIC CAREER START AT 13- Madison began singing at a young age & started performing professionally at 13 years old on Kauai. She learned to play and accompany herself first with the ukulele, then followed by learning to play the acoustic & electric guitars, as well. Self-taught on these instruments, & gifted with her unique, beautiful tone, as well as with a natural ability to write her own songs, Madison was first written up as "The 13 Year Old North Shore Musical Prodigy" in Kauai's main local newspaper (See Garden Island Newspaper article-Link on website). 2012 to 2013 - If you were on Kauai 2012 or 2013, chances are you could have discovered Madison at one of your favorite resorts or restaurants on island (i.e. The St. Regis, Kauai Beach Resort, Oasis on the Beach, Brennecke’s, Keoki's Paradise, The Sheraton, etc.). Between the ages of 14 & 15 years old, she was home-schooled the first 4 hours of her day. She would then switched gears & perform in the evenings full time, 4 to 5 times a week, at some of the most exclusive venues on Kauai. This experience & intense training was invaluable to the development of depth & maturity of performance skills Madison obtained at a young age. 2014 - At the beginning of 2014, Madison went on hiatus from performing in front of live audiences full time on Kauai, and instead, went to the mainland for six months. She spent her time there exclusively writing, creating, collaborating & producing her 2nd album with the help of a team of music industry veterans.
