Maddi Blaire

Maddi Blaire is a Houston-born R&B/pop artist, singer, drummer, and soulful performer whose music lives at the intersection of vulnerability and power. Raised in the church and trained by life, she began singing at the age of four and found rhythm behind the drums not long after. With over 15 years of experience, Maddi has graced stages from intimate venues to cultural institutions like the Houston Museum of African American Culture. Her signature style—equal parts gospel, soul, and modern R&B—is deeply felt and elegantly delivered. Maddi’s performances evoke emotion, healing, and strength, often accompanied by live drumming that sets her apart in the genre. Known for her tagline “soft but strong,” Maddi Blaire embodies the quiet resilience and bold beauty of a woman rooted in spirit, story, and sound.
