Pop country artist Madie empowers her music with emotional potency, offering energy and thoughtfulness in a sound that is simultaneously introspective and outgoing. Strong melodic hooks and lyrical intelligence are staples of Madie's distinctive songwriting and country music forever recall the indelible mark of an artist such as this.

Outlet

Be glad that Madie needed an emotional outlet for otherwise such soul-stirring and entertaining music might not have come to fruition. “Music has always been a big part of my life. It is my creative outlet and always provides me an emotional release.” Madie's bravery in wearing her heart on her sleeve through her songwriting allows listeners intimacy with an artist whose soul is deep and which knows a broad range of ideas and emotions. There is a richness to these songs the likes of which few artists can claim.

Touching the Listener

The emotional catharsis Madie finds through music is fulfilled by the act of making contact with others through songwriting. “It is my goal to write music that touches the listener.” Opening up the full communicative channels of music enables Madie to tap into a neverending source of creative energy as artist and listener feed off of each other in artistic symbiosis. “I hope that what I write moves others who have had the same experiences. My wish is that there will be a connection and they will be able to relate to the lyrics.”

She has taken the stage at such venerable venues as the Moe Bandy Theatre in Branson, Johnnie High's Country Music Revue in Dallas, Branson on the Brazos in Waco, Texas and more.
