all about maddy kas

quick summary

Maddy Kas is a singer-songwriter based in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Originally from New Jersey, her introduction to music began at a very young age and later transformed into a lifelong passion of writing and performing songs.

Greatly inspired by 60s/70s folk, 90s alternative rock and indie, Maddy Kas is an award winning writer, having recently been awarded first place in the final round of the Lehigh Valley Sing Off Singer/Songwriter competition. Her songwriting is described as vivid and raw, full of introspective lyrics, simplicity, and emotive sound.

Maddy started performing around the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas during her studies at Kutztown University. There, she studied Music, met lifelong collaborators, and formed her 5-piece band. She now performs on a consistent basis, playing covers and her original music. 

This has since led to many opportunities, including playing alongside touring bands such as Ashes & Arrows and performing at many popular venues and festivals across the East Coast.

Upon graduating from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 2025, Maddy Kas has been writing and recording new music more than ever, with her debut studio album on the way.

The story

from the start to now

Growing up, music was all around me. Whether it was concert DVDs of bands like Heart, Yes, Pink Floyd, or Led Zeppelin, or car rides with my grandparents where I was quizzed on every song playing on 99.9 The Hawk, music was a constant presence. I especially loved going to music festivals with my grandparents. I still remember a blues festival where I met Samantha Fish. While I wasn’t always into my grandparents' music, hearing Samantha Fish play for the first time captivated me and sparked my desire to become a musician. I owe everything to my grandparents, especially my grandfather.  I started out by singing random melodies and jotting down lyrics. It wasn’t until I was 12 that I began writing my songs on paper. Around the same time, my grandfather gifted me my first guitar, and a few years later, I joined the School of Rock in Easton. There, I began by singing and later switched to playing bass. Concurrently, I started recording with Anthony Newett, and together we crafted my first single, "You're So Good," which was released when I was 14. Although that song is no longer available, it marked a significant milestone in my early career. Music was always a part of my life, but it became everything for me during the COVID-19 pandemic. With more time to myself, I dedicated myself to creating and refining my music. During high school, I joined an acoustic trio called Willow, and we performed locally in Phillipsburg, NJ, and Easton, PA for about a year. By senior year, I released my first EP, "Yesterday's Words," across streaming platforms. Today, I am a recent Kutztown University graduate and an active local musician in the Lehigh Valley. While I’m still working on original material, I’m enjoying every moment and embracing every opportunity and experience along the way.
