Madhavi Devi:

Madhavi Devi has always been driven by a deep passion for songwriting, turning personal moments into powerful performances. Rooted in New Jersey’s thriving music scene, she has gone from playing in hometown open mics to commanding stages at renowned venues like The Stone Pony and Rockwood Music Hall. Through her artistry, Madhavi weaves together the beauty and heartbreak of the human experience, creating songs that offer solace, celebration, and a sense of belonging.
This April, The MIC Mag celebrated Madhavi Devi as our Musician of the Month!

Alwyn Morrison "Chained"

""Chained" was the first song I ever recorded. I’ve released other songs before, but this was the first time I actually stepped into a studio and sang into a mic. Honestly, I wasn’t thinking about releasing it at all — I just needed to get it out. If that makes sense? Writing the song wasn’t enough; I had to sing it, say it out loud. I remember feeling super comfortable in that moment, not worried about hitting every note. It was more about expressing myself." - Alwyn Morrison

Ølivia Mae Butterfly Effect
"Butterfly Effect is for anyone who’s ever caught feelings, overthought every move, wished for someone off limits, and still said “you only live once” and went for it." - Ølivia Mae

Zack The Ripper "Black Magic Witches"
"I like to write songs about weird, unfamiliar [and] uncomfortable situations because I think they make the most interesting stories." - Zack Smith
