magdalen didn’t know her passion for music would bring her front & center to a life on the stage. she began playing classical piano and writing songs at age 8, and painting at age 15. early on she focused intensely on painting, graduating with a degree in fine art from rhode island school of design and setting her sights on an art career in new york city. shortly after graduating, she had a vivid dream that abruptly changed the direction of her life. “i dreamt i was a musician living in seattle, and felt utterly compelled to follow that message.” checking her fears, she followed her dream and moved to seattle to study voice, classical, and jazz piano at cornish college of the arts. “i never regretted my decision to put music first. i am determined to make art that connects with people on the deepest level possible, and know i am best able to accomplish that for myself and for others through music.”
