Lyrics, songs and the music industry
Meagan Meehan (MM): You started writing songs when you were very young, so what topics were your first lyrics centered around?
Maddie Logan (ML): My first songs were about resilience, being yourself, dreaming big, and first crushes.
At 9 most of the music I knew was from Disney, so I go back and can see how much my music was inspired by their themes.
MM: What can you tell us about the album you’re presently working on and what makes these new songs different from your past work?
ML: The biggest difference is that the majority of my upcoming songs will be solely written by me. I love the intimacy of an artist writing an entire song, you know every word is coming from them and their thoughts and dreams.
MM: How have you managed to break into the extraordinarily competitive music industry and which genres do you most enjoy writing music for—and singing—for?
ML: It’s all just working hard and meeting the right people who help take you a step further.
My favorite genre to write and sing and listen to is country, hands down. I love the natural sound, the storytelling, the emphasis on songwriting, and that it’s about real people and life’s true struggles and simple pleasures.
MM: How did you get the opportunity to partake in big gigs and work with some A-list celebrity singers in the process?
ML: I’ve been very blessed with great opportunities thanks to people around me who believe in me. I am very thankful for all I’ve gotten to do.
Hobbies, creative content and career
MM: Hobby-wise, what do you do in your spare time?
ML: My hobbies outside of music include baking, shopping, fishing, watching superhero movies, going to Disneyland, and spending time with friends and family.
MM: How do you intend to evolve expand your creative content—and overall career—in 2019?
ML: I intend to hopefully continue to build my social media following; I’m always working on that. Also, I have been learning the production side of music so I’m really excited to be able to be even more hands on with my songs.
MM: What are your biggest dreams regarding your profession singing and songwriting and what new and exciting projects are on the horizon in 2019 that you want to discuss?
ML: My biggest dream is to win a CMA award and get to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. Although, I really just aspire to be able to make money doing what I love, which is music. My new project for 2019 are new singles and I’m SO excited to release songs that I feel are unique and that I’m proud of.
I tell my life through my songs so I feel like I’m going to be releasing my diary haha, but it’s how I tell the world how I feel. I’m going to be getting more personal than ever, and I cannot wait for ya’ll to hear everything that’s in store!
