GETTING TO KNOW MADELYN VICTORIA
by Jacqueline Jax host of A.V.A Live Radio
Music business…
I have been working the music business since I was about 18 years old. I figured that it started with forming your own band and I was right. Then booking gigs all on my own as well and also my own promotions- which I believe is the hardest part for me. I find it a little difficult promoting myself because I just don’t feel comfortable talking myself up, I like for someone to hear me then determine their opinion. For now til I get more representation that is what I have to do and will continue to do so til I make it to the top!

New EP…
The first EP that I released back in 2014 is a sneak peek at what my style is. I go from a country ballad to an upbeat shuffle- yet all will still get you dancing. That’s my whole goal when it comes to my music, I want to get everyone on the dance floor. I have a new single coming out this summer. The studio musicians, as well as a couple of my bandmates, made it sound exactly how I wanted it. Lots of steel and a good driven beat. The song is about a simple love, something that doesn’t need much work and comes natural. I kind of want it to depict a newlywed story as well. I want people to relate to my songs to their own scenarios, but I to always have a specific story that started to creation of my song. For example my song “Wild Ride” may just sound like a song about partying to someone but for me it’s when me and my family went out with my Uncle Joe to his deer lease. We had a blast talking, laughing, all while off-roading out there which was a fun “Wild Ride”.
Song name: He Only Loves Me on the Dance Floor
Music Genre: country
I wrote this song about five years ago. The inspiration came from hanging out at the local south Texas dancehalls- which is one of my favorite things to do! I love to see all the people dancing and hearing a live, good ole Country band. The whole atmosphere gives me this feeling like I’m at home. With “He Only Loves me on the Dancefloor” I try to paint a picture of being out on a Friday night at a dance hall, and there’s a love story going on of course. I believe everyone can relate to it on some level- the story of being caught up in a love that may or may not be true so you either think or know that he/she “only loves you on the dance floor.” I wanted it to have that George Strait/90’s beat, something super easy to dance to and listen to. I feel like I have accomplished something good with my song and not to mention it being number one on the New Music Weekly Chart thanks to my awesome team at MTS Management.

I currently live in San Antonio, TX..
but grew up in San Benito, TX. I drive about 4 hours back and forth for shows and to visit family. The music scene back home is small but a tight one, everyone has each other’s back and I thank the many talented musicians from back home that are always willing to play for me. Now that I am in San Antonio there are sooo many places to see and am still new to the scene up here. I really enjoy going to 151 Saloon, they’ve always got great live bands, and beer specials! Haha.
I would love to have 5 minutes alone with…
Johnny Cash. His love for music, songwriting, family, faith, and life in general is what draws me to him. I have been reading up on him for the longest time and every story inspires me.
