ABOUT
Madelyn, who also goes by the nickname MJ, is an actress living and working in Nashville, TN.
Madelyn’s love for the arts began at the age of three when she started taking ballet lessons. From elementary school through high school, dance remained an important part of her life as she participated in dance companies, state and nationally ranking dance teams, choreographed her high school musicals, and even trained with the Radio City Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, NYC.
While dance is an important part of Madelyn’s life, it is also the root to Madelyn’s current love for acting. After dancing in several recitals and competitions, Madelyn wanted to take this love for performing to the next level. She finally convinced her Mom to let her get into acting. Her Mom signed her up to be a background extra, where she worked on the sets of productions like Benchwarmers (Sony/Colombia Pictures 2006), My Name is Earl (20th Century Fox TV), and Scrubs (Touchtone TV). She was hooked.
Soon after that, Madelyn’s family moved from Southern California to Nashville, Tennessee. Despite being far from Hollywood, Madelyn was still determined to continue her acting career. Throughout middle school and high school, she participated in plays and musicals, community theatre productions, as well as worked with local agents in Nashville, appearing in music videos, commercials and industrials.
Finally, Madelyn achieved her dream of making it back out to sunny California when she was admitted into the University of Southern California, majoring in Dramatic Arts with an emphasis in acting, and minoring in Cinematic Arts (critical studies).
Since graduating from USC, Madelyn is continuing to chase her dreams as an actress back in Nashville, TN. You may have recently seen her in music videos for Temecula Road, Frank Ray and Chase Rice. She also has 2 feature films coming out this year!
Madelyn also owns and runs a small business, And She Bakes.
Madelyn, is intelligent, spunky, and genuine. She is full of life, but remains grounded through her family, and friends.
