Maddy O'Neal
More than a decade into her musical journey, Maddy O’Neal is still finding new ways to surprise herself. Never one to be confined by genre or expectation, she’s built a career on experimentation, evolution, and the belief that the most exciting music happens when you stop following the rules and follow your own desires.
Her journey has been anything but predictable. A self-taught producer and DJ, Maddy came up through Colorado’s thriving electronic music scene, where she helped shape its evolving electro-soul sound while building a devoted following of her own. Now based in Los Angeles, she continues to push her creative boundaries, drawing from her roots in hip-hop and soul while embracing a more expansive, multidimensional approach to cinematic bass music. Layered with warm analog textures and intricate sound design, her productions carry both emotional depth and undeniable low-end power. Equal parts grit and beauty, her unmistakable sonic signature lives somewhere between soulful nostalgia and forward-thinking bass music.
In an era of instant gratification, Maddy remains an album artist and storyteller at heart, crafting immersive bodies of work that unfold with intention. Her extensive discography spans three full-length albums: Introspect (2016), Ricochet (2023), and Vital Signs (2024), alongside multiple EPs and an impressive collection of collaborations and remixes. She’s joined forces with artists including CloZee, DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia, Cherub, and members of STS9, continually bridging musical worlds and expanding her creative reach.
Her latest EP, DESIRE, marks a defining chapter in that evolution, exploring the freedom to create without limitations and embracing the full spectrum of her artistic identity within the bass realm. Moving confidently between intensity and vulnerability, the project reflects an artist trusting her instincts, following her curiosity, and stepping fully into her own.
From her first major bus tour supporting Cherub in 2017 to sharing stages with Pretty Lights, GRiZ, REZZ, LSDREAM, Daily Bread, and countless others, Maddy’s career has been one of steady evolution and momentum. Her live performances are equally dynamic, fueled by an intoxicating, infectious energy and a magnetic stage presence that draws audiences into her world. Her journey has taken her to some of the country’s most celebrated stages, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Electric Forest, Bonnaroo, and five appearances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Along the way, she embarked on nationwide headline tours and reached a defining milestone with her own headline performance at Denver’s iconic Mission Ballroom.
