Fierce but only few know it so far, so get in early so we can make something absolutely fantastic together! Collabs get 1+1 to equal 4
I am a trained singer, I have 10 years experience of singing professionally in choirs and work-for-hire recording sessions. I have been songwriting for about that long, but making a career out of it in LA for the last 3 years.
I have been a professional audio engineer for 4 years; I currently engineer for Universal Music Publishing Group, Tim Anderson, and Ant Clemons. This has lead me to become a detailed vocal producer. If you need help adding backgrounds, choirs, tweaking structure /melodies / lyrics, definitely reach out to me so we can perfect your song together!
I also am a mix engineer, mixing mostly pop, rap, r&b, and indie pop records.
I'm 24 years old and have been writing since I was 9. I've "studied" the ways of Gaga, David Bowie, Prince, Frank Ocean, and others - influenced in all aspects by pop legends. I am well versed in current pop culture and trends, while also having an extensive background (being a huge fan) of musicians from the 70's and 80's.
Listeners of my music will feel emotion first and foremost. I do not write just based on personal experiences; good songwriters and producers have the gift of shape shifting and story-telling.
If you have any questions about my experience, please feel free to contact me to discuss working together!
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Maddi knocked it out of the park with the song she wrote for my track! Not only did she provide something that fit the song to a T but she went above and beyond with a masterfully recorded and produced vocal performance. Over the years I don’t think I’ve ever had 0 revisions for a collaborator but Maddi truly understood what the song needed and delivered. I couldn’t be happier with the final result. She’s incredibly talented at what she does and I will absolutely be back for more!!
check_circleVerifiedMaddi is such a wonderful and thoughtful songwriter. She really embodied what I wanted for my song and executed it to such a T I was blown away. Thank you so much Maddi you are the best :)
check_circleVerifiedMaddi is so talented! I am blown away with my two tracks and could not be happier. I had no revisions - she nailed it on the first draft. She understood what my vision was and incorporated my style perfectly to bring my songs to life. Catchy and unique- I am definitely working with Maddi again for any of my pop song needs. Highly recommend!
