In an increasingly artificial world, 25-year-old singer-songwriter Madds Buckley stands out for her raw humanity. Raised in Chicagoland, based in Nashville, and shaped by her time at Berklee, Buckley has built a global following through her unmistakable honesty and introspective storytelling. As she works toward her label debut, Madds turns her focus to the fractured relationship between humanity and technology—juxtaposing DNA with lines of code to ask what’s innate, what can be reprogrammed, and what ultimately defines us: the body, the brain, or the soul.
