With an array of influences, Madi demonstrates a vocal style similar to that of artists HAIM and St. Vincent. An understated yet commanding presence within her tracks, vocals that Madi presents to her audience display incredible technical control and knack for personable storytelling.

The familiarity of our past mixed the excitement and uncertainty and abstract nature of the future.
