Madelyn Paquette

Born and raised in a Boston suburb, Madelyn discovered her love of music early in life. She grew up inspired by country and folk music which shaped her deep appreciation for lyricism. At ten years old, she picked up a copy of Taylor Swift’s debut album which encouraged her to pen and produce her own songs, and the rest is history. Madelyn began racking up recognition from the get-go: she won two American Songwriting Awards by fifteen; became a National YoungArts Foundation Winner by seventeen; was selected as a 2018 Presidential Scholar in the Arts Finalist by eighteen; and won an Independent Music Award by twenty. Most recently in 2021, her songwriting was recognized by the BMI Foundation and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Madelyn currently lives in New York City, attending New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at the Tisch School of the Arts. She’s often found converting New Yorkers into country fans at beloved venues such as Bowery Electric, The Cutting Room, Piano's, Berlin Under A and more.
