Maddie is a proud Oregonian with an appetite for travel and trivia. She grew up in the family recording studio, singing for audio projects starting at the age of 5 and began playing piano shortly thereafter. After graduating with a music degree from Oregon State University, her dreams of singing backup for James Taylor or Steely Dan took her to Nashville, TN where she spent three years exploring the music industry and recording background vocals for various projects. Following her stint in the South, she moved home to Portland where she fulfills her passion of accompanying and singing in choirs while working her *real job* at the Dougy Center. When she is not tickling the ivories, she is playing choo-choo trains with her son, enjoying the Portland foodie scene with her husband, or snuggling with her German Shepherd in their Beaverton home.
