Madison McFerrin

Madison McFerrin is a singer-songwriter and producer based in Brooklyn, New York. Her critically acclaimed a cappella EP series, Finding Foundations: Vol. I, led Questlove to dub her sound "soul-appella." After garnering praise as a Pitchfork Rising Artist and making her debut at South by Southwest (SXSW), she mesmerized crowds on her debut US and European tours with a powerful one-woman show. Her SXSW performance led legendary KCRW DJ Anne Litt to remark, "there's some sort of joy and beauty in the way that she performs that really drew me in all that much more."

McFerrin's latest project, the You + I EP, expands upon her a cappella sound by pairing her timeless voice with modern production by her brother, Taylor McFerrin. The combination has proven effective: the COLORS debut of the lead single "TRY" has racked up more than one million views. Since it's release in December 2019, You + I has continued to impress listeners with The FADER noting how McFerrin's "warm harmonies feel effortless" and AFROPUNK highlighting how "lush production and instrumentation accompany her angelic voice."

Despite cancellation of her return to SXSW due to the COVID-19 pandemic, McFerrin has continued to create during quarantine. Via Bandcamp, she has released timely new music such as "Stay TF Inside," which was featured on VICE News, and she debuted her first foray into beatmaking with "We'll Be Okay Beat Pack."
