Singer-Songwriter Madi White Drops Nashville-Recorded Debut Album
by Tim Wenger
Berthoud, Colorado singer-songwriter Madi White is generating quite the musical story for teenager. She released her debut full-length album in October, following recording sessions for the tracks down in Nashville. She shared the story of making of the record with us.
“I came in completely not knowing what I was getting myself into,” says White. “From the time we got off the plane it was work, work, work. We went first to the production meeting, which was fantastic and scary. We got all the songs the way we wanted to give them to the band.”
The band, a group of studio musicians from Nashville, put the music down for the record on the first day of recording. White was connected with the group through a contact in Nashville who made contact through ReverbNation. “She shops songs to publishing labels and stuff like that,” says White. “We looked at them for a long time before we made any decisions.”
“We decided we were going to go ahead and record the album,” says White. “(The couple) knew the band members, and so they asked them to come in and be the studio musicians.” White was very happy with the group, and despite some natural initial nervousness, the recording was completed quickly. “The band was great,” says White. “They talked me through some stuff and helped me out. Once I started getting more comfortable, I was able to start putting my own ideas into the production of it.”
The first five songs were recorded in April, and White headed back down to Nashville again in June to complete the record. The album, which came out October 19, is available at madiwhitemusic.com and reverbnation.com/madiwhite.
White received a piano at age four from her grandmother. “My parents decided that I could take lessons because I was very persistent in begging them,” says White. “I was four years old and started my piano lessons. I started performing when I was five, just performing piano.” She wrote her first song at age nine. “I was at my Aunt’s house doing chores, and it just went from there.”
Following the release of the album, White will be working on booking some small tours and more local gigs.
