Madison Cunningham is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist who has carved out a distinctive niche in contemporary folk-rock. Born on October 14, 1996, Cunningham has developed a musical style that defies easy categorization — one that Rolling Stone aptly described as "a new spin on West Coast folk-rock, with classical tendencies, electric guitars, jazz-school chord changes and alt-rock strut all living under the same roof." This eclectic blend of influences has established her as one of the most innovative voices in modern Americana and folk music.
Cunningham's career reached new heights with her second studio album, Who Are You Now (2019), which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. Building on this success, she released her third studio album, Revealer, in 2022 — a project that solidified her status as a major force in contemporary folk music.
The critical and commercial momentum continued when Revealer won the Grammy Award for Best Folk Album in 2023, cementing Cunningham's place among the most acclaimed artists in her genre. Her combination of sophisticated musicianship, genre-blending artistry, and compelling songwriting has established her as a vital voice in modern American music.
