Summary
Singer, Songwriter & Mental Health advocate, Madeline Merlo joins us today! Hailing from Maple Ridge, BC, Madeline is a CCMA Award and two-time BCCMA Award winning artist, with six Top 15 singles under her belt. Now based in Nashville, TN, Merlo continues to live up to Spotify’s prediction that she is one of the biggest rising stars to watch. Madeline has over 23 million global streams, and in March 2020, she was featured in Spotify's 'Music Needs Women' campaign. But how exactly did she get here? What did THAT look like? Madeline’s story takes us on a journey from childhood songwriting, to being discovered THROUGH A WALL, to being selected as the most recent songwriter of Lady Antebellum's new single “Champagne Night”. And, of course, we deep dive on how mental health and music can really come together.
