- Artist Name: Madeline Mae
- Hometown: Wetumpka, AL
What project(s) are you currently working on?
I’m currently working on a single, which should be out very very soon, and an EP or an album.
What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?
The passion I had for singing and performing is what inspired me to pursue this career. From the time I could talk, I was singing, and that was all I ever wanted to do. When I was ten or eleven, I had decided that I wanted to be a country artist, that that is what I wanted to be when I got older. It’s a blessing that I have a chance to pursue a dream I’ve had since I was a kid.
If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?
If I wasn’t pursuing a career in music, I would definitely be a marine biologist. I’ve always loved the ocean and all of it’s sea creatures.
What is your favorite downtime activity?
My favorite downtime activity still has to do with music. I love writing songs when there is no deadline or pressure to do so. It helps me relax because I can put every emotion I felt that day into a song and express myself in a different way than just talking.
Who is your biggest celebrity crush?
At the moment, I don’t think I even have one, but I’m sure if I do, I’ll remember him a little too late for this interview.
Who is your favorite sports team(s)?
I don’t really watch many sports, but since I’m from Alabama where Auburn versus Alabama is a huge thing, I’ll go with Auburn.
What is the last movie that you watched?
I think the last movie I watched was “The Maze Runner”.
What is the last album you listened to?
I can’t remember what the last album I listened to was, but the last song I listened to was “Sugar Coat” by Little Big Town.
If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?
That’s a hard call. Maybe Carrie Underwood’s “Storyteller” album.
What is the greatest country song of all time?
I can’t tell you the greatest country song of all time because there are too many amazing ones, but one of my favorites is “She Said Yes” by Rhett Akins. I absolutely adore this song. Also, George Strait’s song “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” is another one I enjoy.
What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?
I enjoyed playing in Hardinsburg, Kentucky because my family who has never had a chance to see me play live got the chance to this past year. I really loved that they were able to see me do something I am so passionate about.
What is your favorite meal?
My favorite meal is probably white bean chili.
Who is your dream duet partner?
I have two dream duet partners, Ashley McBryde or Miranda Lambert. They are both such amazing artists.
Who would you like to go on tour with?
I would love to go on tour with Carrie Underwood. She is such an outstanding performer, and her shows seem like they would be a lot of fun.
What is your ultimate career goal(s)?
My ultimate career goal, even if it is slightly unrealistic, is to be one of the biggest country artist of my generation. I want my music to inspire everyone in the world; I want to bring us all together, and I want to write and perform songs that everyone can relate to and enjoy.
