Madeleine on SoundBetter

I have been in the industry since I was 11 yrs old. In my sound proof home studio I use a Creme Monheim Microphone to guarantee industry quality sound. With buttery, glistening, vocals and the ability to easily stack harmonies, I can add a strong feminine flair to whatever you need! I am equally as passionate about production.

I have been producing in Logic 7 years. I specialize in making sure the groove of a song is right. It's all about the feel for me. Using Native Instruments sounds, i'm sure I can create your vision for you!

My artist name is Maddi Jane, I have trained under Scott Storch, Claude Kelly. and gained experience at writers camps under Sony, and Atlantic.

If you want to look me up, I have been on Billboards Uncharted before, and was recently featured in Clash Magazine.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

Madeleine has an incredibly beautiful voice and she’s quick and efficient to respond and complete the job. If you need a female vocalist or possibly even voice over, utilize Madeleine!
by Adam Malka
I own a music production company based in LA - Signature Tracks. We are partnered with Downtown Music Group and Concord. I've worked with Maddi for a while and I've placed her music in many of our top TV series. She's super talented as an incredible artist and songwriter that I have so much respect for. I highly recommend her to take a project from it's inception to completion - lyrics, vocals, incredible melodies, and now production. She has a very current pop culturally relevant sound as well.

She’s an absolute dynamo — not just production, though she’s a kind, thoughtful producer. She’s got exquisite taste, knows exactly what your track needs, & can lay down in seconds what would take other studios days to piece together. Vocally, her sound is full, powerful, clean, and well polished, as well as flexible — if you’re looking for a pop princess or a soulful power ballad belt, look no further. Collab-wise, she shines whether she’s in a support role or if she’s fully given the reins. A+ quality, A+ craftsmanship, & a pure joy to work with.

Madeline produced a TV show theme song for a pilot of mine. As I have more of a television background, I’m less familiar with the music process and was apprehensive about recording the little diddy I’d halfway thought out. She UTTERLY dazzled me and brought the WHOLE thing to life. I barely had lyrics, she helped me polish ‘em, gave it a melody, and then recorded the piano, the vocals, AND the mixing all in what felt like five seconds flat!! Blown away by her skill & her speed. She helped execute a vision I didn’t even know I had. Write, produce, perform— she’s a one-stop shop for everything.
by Brian Webb
As an artist, I worked with Maddi Jane as a fellow songwriter for my solo project. Immediately, I’d describe her as all skill and no ego. Maddi made me comfortable and delved right into the personal and real aspects of my art, carefully and calmly bringing something out that more heavy-handed “industry people” would have quickly squashed. She guided me toward a treasure of a song, well made and yet seemingly my own. Prioritizing, carefully moderating, Maddi is the PERFECT mirror for any artist who needs help manifesting that last 10-20% of their work. -Brian Webb, Emmy nominated Producer

Interview with Madeleine

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog. I think getting that rich sound is important. In my experience, there’s more substance to it. Digital just can’t recreate it is my personal opinion.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: This song I made for my roomate. I was writer and producer on it. Seeing the way she showed it off to her community was really encouraging.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am currently finishing vocal comping for one of my clients and another client and I have our first session the end of this week to see what he’s thinking for his project. As a songwriter I’m constantly doing sessions and for my own personal project I’m about half way through my album.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes!! Alex Strahle is an incredible producer and friend of mine. He’s a fantastic guitar player and mixer as well.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will do my very best to help their dream for the project come true and if I don’t deliver they don’t have to pay me.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: That moment when the vision is mid way through being painted and we’re both realizing we have something good.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Most of the time I get my clients in person through writing sessions and mutual friends so they don’t ask me a ton to begin with. Mostly I just see if they have a need and then I ask myself if I’m equipped to fill it.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: A lot of people think that it takes millions of dollars to become a producer. And yes, the better the gear you have, the better you can get into sound design and completing the entire song process. But for production and mapping out the base of a song, you don’t need very much. The other key aspect of growth is community. I’ve been blessed to have producers and mixers to look up to and who are willing to answer my questions. Being teachable is really all it takes.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Do they have a collaborative and respectful mindset?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I would say “make sure that they have good reviews”. Don’t take my word for it, read what my co-workers and past clients have said about my contributions to their visions.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Mac book pro, good headphones, Apollo twin, my Akai MIDI MPK, and my tube Mic.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I made a living off of my YouTube Channel growing up as a singer. When I realized not everyone could help me retrieve the visions I wanted to create, I dove into the production side of things in 2018 and have been soaking up information from pros around me ever since.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: As an artist my style is definitely Maggie Rogers meets Tori Kelly. As a producer, I am versatile and can transition easily from one genre to another.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would like to work with Chance the Rapper because he wants to create music to contribute to the world and not just make himself seem on top. I respect that.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: One music production tip I can share is “less is more” and also “make sure everything has its own space” meaning; sonically you don’t want your elements to clash with each other. I do my best to make sure everything is clear, distinct and in it’s own lane.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on pop and singer songwriter with a side of r&b/hip hop. I enjoy producing hard hip hop most honestly.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill as an artist is my voice and my ability to create harmonies to fill a record. As a producer my skills are finding the right sounds and making sure it feels right to the artist. I am not at mixing and mastering level yet but I am hoping to get there soon.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring a lot of passion for finding the voice of the artist. I’ve worked a lot on the artist side of things so I know what it’s like to be in their shoes. Receptive and collaborative producers are not always easy to come by and I want to represent that to them.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My typical work process is just keeping the focus on what the client wants, if they don’t like a sound, I change it and tweak it until it fits they’re vision.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is comfortable, spacious, and efficient. I have a green coach my clients come and sit on as they describe their vision. We then transition into mapping on the song in Logic using NI (with many other top notch plug ins) and then I coach them through recording in a sound proof corner of the room.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Jon bellion is my biggest inspiration. I also study a lot from my co-worker Yang Tan who mixes for J-Cole.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: When clients come in, I help them create a vision for where they want their song to go. My passion is to make their dreams a reality.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
