Maddie Martin is an exciting and versatile vocalist based in the heart of London.

Described by colleagues and listeners as having an “old soul voice”, Maddie has a remarkable ability to tell a story through lyrics, captivating audiences with her strong stage presence, rich vocal tone, and expressive
freedom. Wordplay plays a central role in her music, drawing inspiration from some of her greatest influences, including Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Barbra Streisand, Carmen McRae, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Barbara Streisand, Karen Carpenter, and Samara Joy to name a few. Her musical influences also span from her classical roots to pop and soul.

In January 2025, Maddie recorded a demo featuring five arrangements of her favourite jazz standards at Quiet Money Studios, mixed and recorded by Grammy-nominated producer James McMillan and Maddie's vocal coach, mentor and British vocalist Claire Martin OBE. The tracks feature Columbus Sandor on piano, Guy Dempsey on bass, and Kai MacRae on drums. Maddie is excited to get back in the studio to start working on her first EP.

Since moving to London, Maddie has immersed herself in various musical projects, performing at venues such as Spice of Life, Next Door Records, Green Note, and Camden Club with her duo WRENSONG. Some other highlights include playing with The Gabriel Taylor Big Band and running her jazz jam in North/West London.

Growing up in a musical household where diverse music was always being played, Maddie absorbed an eclectic range of music from an early age, listening to everything from classical to pop to soul to jazz. This helped shape her broad musical experience and influence her artistry. During her time at the Conservatoire, Maddie has been driven to hone her craft, with invaluable guidance from jazz vocal professors Anita Wardell and recently with Lauren Kinsella, her studies continue to refine her unique sound through vocal interpretation, band-leading, and storytelling.

Maddie looks forward to making her jazz festival debut with The Maddie Martin Quartet at Swanage Jazz Festival 2025, where she will perform tunes from the Great American Songbook and more.
