Maggie became a part of the WAY Up program, an emerging Artists program.

Maggie exudes authenticity which the modern generation is desperately craving. In her music, she addresses the conflicts of life through sharp-hitting lyrics textured in alternative rhythms with pop sensibilities that paint a compelling picture of our imperfect existence. The contrast of her jangly sounds and perceptive lyrics are a result of her commitment to connectivity through the honest expression of the human condition. She shares, "I make music for the utter reason alone that I need to create something for myself that makes sense, when nothing else around me does."
