Mae Deline

Mae Deline (AKA Madeline Spooner) is an explorer of the vast range of emotions that life has to offer. Through her own personal trials, she seeks the universal truths about love, loss, pleasure, beauty and pain. She channels the human experience through her music to elicit the feeling of connection. And in the next breath, she creates divergent songs with a 90’s “tongue-in-cheek” angst. It’s as if you put Bjork, Alanis Morissette and Paul McCartney in an orgy of artists that birthed Mae Deline. There is a unique and pure clarity to her polished voice which threads it all together into one cohesive sound. She takes us by the hand and says it’s Ok to be with yourself—naked and vulnerable—to face the world with honesty and courage. It’s Ok to feel it all. And she'll be the first to lay it bare, to let us know we're not alone.
