Whether it was the theme song to Winnie the Pooh, or something her dad had been playing, Saugus High School sophomore, Madi King was always singing. You may have seen Madi as she has performed at a few football games, choir review shows and more recently, the Hands On Santa Clarita 9/11 Memorial Service at Westfield Valencia Town Center mall. “It was one of my most memorable experiences,” states Madi. “Emotions were running high, and singing an emotional song made me proud. It was an honor for me to get this opportunity, two years in a row.”
Madi is a self-taught piano player. Her first performance was with the theater production, Escape, where she sang The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow from Annie. “I’m always nervous before going on stage; big crowds are one of my biggest fears and having to face that while singing is terrifying, but I love it.”
The aspiring singer is also a part of the Miss SCV Scholarship Program, a community service program for ladies eight years to adult. Representatives perform over 300 hours of community service each year. “We all work together as a family to help each other with wardrobe, walking, speeches, and just about everything necessary to compete. Our friendships, even after the pageants, remain solid. We bond and meet new people and do our best to represent the Santa Clarita Valley.”
In her spare time, Madi enjoys making videos for film festivals, running or spending time with her friends. She is an avid fan of horseback riding and enjoys the outdoors. Some of her favorite musicians include Coldplay, The Killers, Jack Johnson, Maroon 5, OneRepublic and many more. “Singing is my escape. I sing to remember things, to relieve stress, when I am bored, to entertain…singing is just an overall fun thing to do, whether good or bad at it, it makes me happy.”
