Madiona Caesar

Born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Madiona Caesar always seemed to have dreams bigger than her eyes could see.

Beginning at the age of five, Madiona already had the creative "bug," and adamantly informed her parents that she was going to grow up to be Michael Jackson. Her father laughed and corrected the ambitious little girl advising that she wanted to be as famous as Michael Jackson. Although they initially laughed about the five year olds' firm objective, they took her seriously enough to immediately place her in ballet and tap classes. Thus the crafting of the artist inside her began. She first performed on stage at the tender age of five. Since then, she has performed in North Carolina, New York City, and Tokyo, Japan. She engaged audiences of song, stage, literature, and fashion as an actress, singer/ songwriter, model, and fiction writer.

Her passion being music, it is no surprise that in 2006, this inspiring singing and song writing artist promoted songs from a demo CD entitled Brown Cinderella, and gained international attention in the music world when two of her original songs, Smile, and Don’t Say You Love Me, were placed in rotation on Internet radio stations hosted by 365 Live.
In early 2005 she and producer, YZ teamed up, while she was singing background for another local artist, at the world famous Joe’s Pub in downtown New York City. YZ, known for working with artists such as Patti Labelle, Natalie Cole, and Mary J. Blige helped to polish her unique style. The artist has said he brings out the best in her musically. The result was several recognized collaborations, including the two previously mentioned works that were placed into rotation.

Prior to recording, in 2002, Madiona self-published, and promoted a series of poetry and short stories titled, "Without Love." She also appeared in quite a few music videos as a model, and dancer. Meanwhile, she traveled back and forth to Japan, performing cover songs on stages in nightclubs.

Madiona, known to friends as Doni, Madd, or Maddie, has a B.A. in Political Science from Hampton University, and a Certificate in Public Relations from New York University.

She is originally from North Carolina.
