ABOUT MADDY (In her own words) …

‘My name is Maddeline Simnor and I am a very passionate 17 year old who loves the gift of music and song. I have been playing and singing since I was a budding 7 or 8 year old and more recently, I have been and am writing my own songs. I love all kinds of music, while being very passionate about soul, R&B and a bit of hip hop, which comes through in my playing, singing and personality. I believe in the power of music to move, heal and inspire people, and I consider serving others with my gift, an absolute privilege and honour and not something to be taken lightly. I have experience in performing in bands and also as a solo artist.’

 

EXAMPLES OF SONGS (Maddy is happy to learn a song for you too):

Tennessee whiskey

True colours

Punchline

Dancing on my own

Imagine

Roots

Best part

Simply the best

I will always love you

Can’t help falling in love

Whakamoemati

One day at a time

I’d rather go blind

Halo
