ABOUT MADDI
Maddison Keiver – as Maddisun – stands tall as one of British Columbia’s brightest young indie-pop singer-songwriter talents and will continue to grow as such.
Melding together a winning combination of indie-folk, soulful R&B, reggae, electro-pop, and classic rock influences (the best familiar elements of Sheryl Crow, Adele Adkins, Joan Armatrading, Stevie Nicks, Janis Ian, Tori Amos, Carole King, and others), Maddisun’s wise-beyond-her-years stories of heartache, loss, and redemption are convincingly projected through her brilliant vocals and winning stage presence. In a modern time when everyone yearns for tactile authenticity after a generation of forgettable digital ephemera, Maddisun is a sincere and magnetic rising artist who earns her keep onstage and off – and works with a considerable (and continually expanding) set of strongly crafted original material.
Comfortable either as a solo performer (accompanying herself on guitar or key-boards) or fronting a full band, Maddisun consistently delivers professionally executed live sets, whether the audience numbers 50 people or 1500 people – and said audience consistently leaves the show spellbound and satisfied. Keep your eyes on Maddisun; she’s not going anywhere but upwards.
Make no mistake – Maddisun is a True Talent who will remain active on the scene for many years to come. Stay tuned!
