Madison Ryann Ward

On June 23, 2026, at La Maroquinerie in Paris’s 20th arrondissement, Madison Ryann Ward presents her universe between pop-soul and contemporary R&B, threaded with echoes of gospel, blues and folk. A singer-songwriter from Oklahoma, she grew up between the church where her mother played piano and the soul classics discovered in the family restaurant. Her trajectory shifted when a campus-filmed cover of “Chain of Fools” went viral, revealing an expressive voice and a taste for spare arrangements centered on the vocals.

After Mirror in 2018, she released the EP Beyond Me (2019), carried by the ballad “BRKN,” then followed with singles such as “Higher,” “Player,” “Love & Adoration” and “Anchor.” Having become independent under her own label, Zelda House Records, she released A New Thing in 2023, which brings together the breadth of her influences with direct, warm songwriting. She has since continued to issue new tracks, confirming a pop-soul approach that is both spiritual and intimate.

On stage, Madison Ryann Ward favors the essentials: the voice, clear melodies, and a discreet groove that lets the lyrics breathe. At La Maroquinerie she unfolds this repertoire with gentleness, contained tension and gospel-tinged swells, for a concert that places intimacy at its center.
