Maddie Jay

BIOGRAPHY

Maddie Jay is fascinated by sonics. When she isn’t on the road playing bass for artists such as Lorde or Remi Wolf, she is in her cozy Los Angeles bedroom studio frankensteining together music from analogue synthesizers, cassette tape and drum machines. While Maddie loves supporting and collaborating with other artists, she finds her most fulfilling and creative moments come when she is alone, making something from nothing with an instrument in hand and a cat on her lap.

While her music feels warm, fuzzy, and distinctly California influenced, Maddie’s journey began in a tiny town in the northwestern corner of British Columbia, Canada. After coming to America to study bass guitar at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Maddie followed her friends to Los Angeles and started her career as a “hired gun” bass player. While touring the world, Maddie felt herself pulled to her laptop on her days off and in green rooms, and eventually released her first EP “Mood Swings” in 2020.

Maddie’s second EP CMYK was released in May of 2021 and was met with critical acclaim and support from press and DSPs. Earlier this year, she released “Gutterball” and will continue releasing new music leading into an album later this year.
