Madisinn
“Texas-born, NC native singer-songwriter Madison Grifaldo (Madisinn) always heard whimsical voices, dissonant harmonies, and a wide texture of instrumentation dancing inside her head. She began recording self tapes in 2016 but didn’t release anything until fall of 2022. Her music has been described as “nurtured in a world closely occupied by beautiful voices” & having a “lavender and velvet lullaby voice.” She however describes it as a mixture of everything she loves and feels. Madisinn draws her vocal influences from her classical upbringing in music and her love for great American songwriting ( Judee Sill, Janis Ian, Linda Perhacs, Liz Phair, Kim Deal, Hope Sandoval, etc.)
Madisinn’s first studio EP “The Sun on My Skin” was recorded by artist Samuel Beasley at RFG Studio in Boone, NC. In the past year Madisinn released two singles “Bad Again” and “Go Away” which were both produced in Wilmington, NC. Currently, Madisinn is going to begin recording her sophomore EP in the winter of 2025.”

They released their debut album, “from here on out,” in 2023, which contains lyrical depth and emotional resonance. Their second album is in the works, which showcases more of the band’s evolving sound and musical maturity. lighthearted is committed to creating heartfelt and poignant music.
