I’m Madison Mueller, I’m a young singer/songwriter from Barrie, ON, Canada!

How did you get into music? As a kid I always enjoyed listening and dancing to music, and creating little songs of my own! My grandparents saw that I had an interest, and pushed for my parents to get me into piano lessons when I was 6. From there it spiralled into music consuming my whole life!  3. What instruments do you pla...

At work you may be used to background noise of people talking, tapping on computer keyboards etc etc, you may have music played in the background or you may work in complete silence. Does background noise at all increase productivity? Well if you work where you are listening to music in the background & its ambient but you prefer metal music then your productivity could decrease. Its like if you are used to working in a large office with people talking etc & sometimes you work from home then you could miss the background noise. Others like to work whilst in  a coffee shop  & like having the chatter in the background. These days there are a few apps that you can download the creates background noise. I think that for most people background noise can increase productivity, it can change a persons mood & can help concentration. Get the background noise wrong & it could decrease productivity & also lose focus. If possible if you like background noise...

Music had been part of my dad's side of the family, so there was an old 12 string guitar in the house when I was a kid and Pink Floyd Cd's. My older brothers used to watch all of the popular rock music channels at the time (MTV 2/Kerrang) and inevitably I was exposed to a lot of the Nu-metal, grunge and i...

Singer-Songwriter artist MABEL recently performed the world's first 'Vertical Gig' at SAMSUNG KX in London. The idea was so the show could be configured for smartphone footage eg. Instagram, Snapchat etc. The set a had 3 story- stage over 9 metres high. Yes, this is a kinda new idea. Im not sure about it. Would music fans all want to see vertical stages? What about at festivals? How would that work? Hmmm! Im not sure. I mean this could be the future of live show design.

More recently I've taken the time to launch a solo side project, the Elephant Collective, which is a folk-blues outfit with a fluid lineup. Which is to say: most of the time, it's just me. 2. How did you get into music? I was a relatively late starter, being about 12 when I first started learning the piano. Then a couple of years later, everyone around me at school seemed to be carrying a guitar, as if they'd all learned to play overnight, and I hadn't got the memo. Understandably curious at this development, I tried playing a friend's guitar. I'm still not ent...
