Yodelling teenager, Maddie Leigh, another student from the Rhonda Parish Music Studio in Temecula, USA, wowed us with her country vocal skills singing ‘Little Lady Who‘.
In 1954, the hit tune ‘Rock Around the Clock‘ made Bill Haley a king of rock n’ roll. But did you know that his first musical title was Silver Yodelling Bill? Well, 17-year-old singer/songwriter Maddie Leigh did. You see, Maddie grew up listening to country music and was particularly drawn to the dynamic sounds of yodelling in songs like Cowboy Sweetheart and Little Lady Who. So when she began formal voice lessons, her teacher wisely incorporated her love of yodelling into her warm-up exercises.
Five years later, Maddie Leigh is a world class yodeller and one of country music’s hottest rising stars.
Maddie has spent most of her life on the west coast. But a childhood of riding horses, fishing, and a deep love of God & the U.S. of A. says she’s always been a country girl at heart. Country music speaks to her soul, and she has aspirations to join the ranks of her idols, Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride. And like those country superstars, she aims to use her music to create a positive impact on society.
Nashville VIPs have already taken note of Maddie’s unique and powerful sound, which charms with its nods to both the past and the future of the genre.
Her debut single, ‘Wishing‘ was released in early 2016 and her EP will be released in late fall.
In 2015, Maddie Leigh won several awards in the West Coast Country Music Association Music Awards, including Female Entertainer of the Year. She has played at Tin Roof in Nashville, The Famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tin Roof San Diego, The Merc in Temecula, The San Diego County Fair, and many other smaller venues throughout Southern California and Nashville.
August of 2017, Maddie opened up for Tucker Beathard and Jason Aldean at the Oregon Jamboree and played at the Willamette Country Music Festival.
