Where tradition meets innovation. Shaeden Madi is a rapidly growing social media sensation and artist based in the United States. Her latest body of work is focused around her love of her Middle Eastern family roots that often came in conflict with the escapism she found in the modern trends of pop music with Western superstars like Madonna, Britney Spears and Whitney Houston.
A strict Muslim upbringing isn’t where most people incubate their creativity but here’s the Shaeden “Paradox”.
Growing up between Jordan and the United States, Shaeden was taught the life of an outsider and the power of forming your own identity. After studying fashion at AIU in London, Shaeden started out pursuing a career in line with her education. With a burning desire to chase her musical passions. After A couple of years and moving between different continents her hunger for her dream became stronger than a career that no longer served her.
She began working with renowned vocal coaches RAab Stevenson (Kimad Productions) and Jason Catron (The Vocal Lab) to polish her vocals and joined a premium network located in EU called VIRTUE Clan somewhere in 2020. As many of us that year, Shaeden channeled the uncertainty of 2020 focusing on her true passion and got into the studio with Nashville based producers KWIL and Haram Beats. Combining both the traditional influences of her upbringing with the secular music she finds inspiration in. Shaeden has created her musical universe where Middle Eastern instrumentation meets Western pop melodies and hard-hitting 808s.
This weekend, Shaeden will be releasing her debut single called “Introducing Shaeden Madi” on January 10th followed by a January 14th release of her Dabka Dance track called “EL Salam Alaikum”.Shaeden will be sharing her dream with the world with hopes that her music will teach, inspire, and empower—especially those who don’t know how to find the strength to be who they truly are. By being her most authentic self, she believes her creativity can help others break down barriers, overcome oppression and judgment, and embrace their truest potential.
