Artist Profile : Madison McFerrin

Madison McFerrin is an independent singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. In December of 2016, she quietly introduced her soulful take on a cappella to the world when she self-released Finding Foundations: Vol. I. After one listen, taste-making DJ, Gilles Peterson, snatched up her standout track, “No Time to Lose,” for

his Brownswood Bubblers compilation.

In February of 2018, she gave her listeners more of her distinctive sound when she self-released Finding Foundations: Vol. II. Following her SXSW 2018 debut, Madison performed at Pitchfork’s Rising Artist showcase at Northside Fest, OctFest, Paris Avant Garde showcase and inaugural Midwinter Event at the Art Institute of Chicago. Along with these noteworthy performances,

Madison has also dazzled European crowds with her one-woman show of looping hypnotic harmonies live from London to Poland. Madison plans to build upon this momentum by pairing her timeless voice with modern production on her latest EP, You + I, which quickly had its lead single “TRY” rack up 1M+ views in her debut COLORS session.

Madison just released her latest single, "Hindsight," for Mexican Summer’s Looking Glass series. “Hindsight” is a love letter to Bernie Sanders. It’s a song about heartbreak—wishing you could change the past, knowing you have to continue forward regardless.

The track premiered on Afropunk and was also featured by Pitchfork and Cool Hunting. It’s also the first track Madison has ever released that features her own production!
