For Maddie Morris, it’s never been just about music. Whether she’s adapting an ancient ballad or writing something new, her focus is on opening up conversations, changing perspectives and shining a light on society. It’s therefore no surprise that her debut studio release, Upstream, has rather a lot to say.
Never afraid to tackle difficult subjects, Maddie’s strength is in the subtlety of her approach. Using traditional songs and ancient myths as a jumping off point, her skilful storytelling gets right to the heart of contemporary issues in a way that is powerful, yet inclusive.
