Artist Spotlight: Madonna Nash


Madonna Nash is a singer/songwriter native to Wilmington, NC. She began singing at a very early age, playing with her daddy in bars before she was old enough to drive. It wasn't until her teenage years that she began writing music. A few more years of writing constantly and playing in as many honky tonks and coffee shops as she could find, has made her into the talented and versed singer/songwriter and brilliant performer she is today.

Madonna grew up listening to Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Kenny and Dolly, and Reba to name a few. Those influences are apparent in her own voice which rings of truth, heart and soul. Her recognizable talent has allowed her to open up for various acts such as Shennendoah and make return appearances on her local country station.

2008 has been a great year for Madonna Nash, she has had the privilege of being the opening act for the historical Azalea Festival. She has also been nominated for best female country artist at the 2008 Carolina Music Awards.

Madonna realized early on that it is the power of great songs that move people. "I am very focused on my songwriting,"she states. She writes most of her own material, but doesn't limit her skills to just country music. She has also written for Disney artists and pop/rock artists. "Writing has no limitation,"
she says. She has won numerous awards for her songwriting and has grabbed the attention of many industry professionals in Nashville. But it is when she is performing live on stage that this artist really shines.

Madonna truly puts her heart and soul into every song and every performance. You feel as if it is you she is singing to, or singing about. "I want to touch as many lives as I possibly can," Madonna says, "Music is the story of our lives, from birth 'til death, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but always the truth." Madonna Nash is truly an original! (www.musicnation.com)
