Madeline Merlo is a rising force in modern country, blending raw emotion with breathtaking vocals. A two-time CCMA award winner and 2024 nominee for Female Artist of the Year, her new EP One House Down (from the Girl Next Door) explores the emotional journey of a breakup, with each track representing a different room in a house. Produced by Zach Crowell and featuring Keith Urban’s guitar, the EP reflects Madeline’s unique ability to combine tenderness and power in her music.

Known for writing Lady A’s three-week No. 1 hit “Champagne Night,” Madeline is a multi-platinum, award-winning songwriter whose work has earned her accolades like the CCMA Songwriter of the Year. Her music is deeply personal, written not only for herself but for others navigating love, loss, and self-discovery. “It’s my struggle through finding myself,” she says, “and I hope this project makes people feel heard, seen, and understood.”

With a foundation of family support and a refreshing perspective on mental health, Madeline’s music is both a raw emotional release and a beacon of hope, showing that even in the toughest moments, we’re never truly alone.
