Born and bred in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, Madison’s musical journey began at 10 years old when she started taking guitar lessons with her dad. Madison’s passion for music continued and segued as she went on to study video production at Florida State University. She learned how to record all her own music and devoted most of her college years to developing her craft, recording and producing.

After a lengthy vetting process, she landed a coveted spot on the Blind Auditions stage by charming the coaches with her country rendition of Bob Dylan’s classic, “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” – earning a three-chair turn. Her first country single off of the show, "You or the Whiskey" was featured in New Music Friday Country and on Billboard's "7 Must Hear Country Songs." She has gone viral on TikTok with her cover of Morgan Wallen’s “I Deserve a Drink” garnering over 147,000 video creations and 3 million Spotify streams and with Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark” gaining 8 million views on Instagram. Her EP is releasing April 26th with an album following up shortly after in the Summer.
