Biography
Raised in the opera world with the Canadian Children’s Opera Company, Maddy has been surrounded by music for her whole life. When the pandemic closed the doors on live theatre, Maddy pivoted to folk busking in downtown Toronto. Now, she is developing a career in folk-Americana around Ann Arbor, while she pursues a Bachelor of Music in classical voice from the University of Michigan.
As the daughter of a born-and-bred Canadian and an American peacenik, Maddy’s songwriting drawsinspiration from the music of her midwest childhood: Canadian folk, Americana of the 1970s, and 90s folk-punk, with mezzo vocals like K.D. Lang and bluesy edges reminiscent of Joni Mitchell.
Her music is heavily lyrical, exploring the creativity of the internal world within an alienating technological society. She often focuses on themes of ecofeminism, girlhood, and the narratives of people & places, writing with keen observation and strong empathy. Maddy’s debut album ‘Wake Up Woman’ can be found on all major streaming platforms as of June 28, 2023.
