“I have come across a lot of musicians and I’m telling you that Maddy is one of those, every now and then, if you’re lucky, you stumble across somebody who has this kind of talent…”  Greig Nori, producer (Sum 41, Hedley, Marianas Trench, San Sebastian)

Maddy has been singing since she was a little girl and started writing songs when she was 13. At just 16 years old, and the only solo artist finalist of MuchMusic’s hit television show Disband season 2, Maddy Rodriguez has impressed several music industry pros.  At 15 she auditioned for Disband and was selected from among 1,000 bands/artists to be part of the 13 artists featured in season 2. As one of the finalists, Maddy will be featured in her own Disband Discovered one hour special show in the Fall of 2010.  

On the strength of her songwriting skills Greig Nori asked her to co-write a song that could possibly turn into her first single. Based on a song that Maddy had already started writing, co-writing sessions ensued with accomplished songwriter Andrea Wasse, Greig himself and later Josh Ramsay, the talented lead singer of Marianas Trench. The result of this collaboration is the catchy tune “Falling Up.”  Greig produced the recording with the participation of very talented musicians including Mr. Ramsay, Matt Brann (Avril Lavigne's original drummer) and Marc Ganetakos (Nelly Furtado's Powerless).

Maddy’s music has a foot in pop and another in country.  She writes catchy songs and sweet ballads that hit a nerve with teenage girls and young women. 

Maddy released her first EP “As Seen of Disband” with acoustic versions of her songs “Summer Love,” “Happier than Ever,” and “Break Down,” and will be releasing her first single and music video “Falling Up” in the Fall of 2010.
