Madison Olivia Bisbee’s career journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Raised in Flint, Michigan, her musical path began under the nurturing guidance of her grandmother, “Gran Gran” Jolene. Through Jolene’s connections, including those from her former husband’s Prevost “Florida Luxury Coach” dealership in Florida, Madison was exposed to a world of live music from a young age, including encounters with the legendary George Jones.
Madison’s early life was steeped in music, but she initially followed a different path. A proud graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in political science, Madison embarked on a pre-law track, inspired by the esteemed legal careers of her family members. Her father, Anthony Vance, is an Assistant United States Attorney, her Uncle Paul Vance is a respected attorney at Cline Cline & Griffin, and her cousin Jim Beaubien practiced at Latham & Watkins. Despite these influential precedents, Madison made a bold decision to pivot from the legal world to pursue her true passion for music.
Five years ago, Madison moved to Nashville, a city synonymous with country music, to carve out her own space in the industry. Her journey has not been without its challenges. When her beloved grandmother Jolene was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Madison made the selfless choice to return to Michigan to provide full-time care for her, all while continuing to write and record music. She maintains a rigorous travel schedule, frequently returning to Nashville to chase her musical dreams.
As of 2024, Madison’s career is experiencing a significant upswing. She has had the honor of opening for prominent national acts including Julia Cole, NELLY, Parmalee, Kassi Ashton, and Dylan Scott, among others. Her discography includes five singles, with her most recent release, “24/7,” further solidifying her presence in the industry.
Madison Olivia is an artist on the rise, and her future in the country music industry looks bright. With her undeniable talent, her dedication to her craft, and her genuine connection with her audience, she is poised to become a major force in country music.
