Season 21 of American Idol will premiere this week. Madison Neisius, a vocalist with her own “musical concept” called RetroCheeseburger, will be one of the performers in the upcoming show.
Her artistic idea is explained on her website as follows:
“RetroCheeseburger is Madison’s creative instrumental vision, a diverse, quirky, and pure creative spirit. The name ‘RetroCheeseburger’ came about as a result of her traveling across the country, performing music, meeting people, and staying in touch via her Instagram handle, @RetroCheeseburger, and thus becoming known as such.”
The next episode of American Idol season 21 will air on ABC on February 26 at 8 p.m. ET.
Madison Neisius, a season 21 American Idol contestant, is from Dallas, Texas
The aspiring American Idol season 21 contestant is a Dallas, Texas-based artist and performer who has been playing the guitar for over a decade. According to her Instagram bio, the “punky artistic gal” fell in love with the musical instrument while playing the video game Guitar Hero III as a child and was later given an actual guitar for her birthday.
The singer went to The School of Rock and was a member of the Dean’s List Band, The Continental Summer Tour Band, and American Garage, an all-female ensemble. Following that, she taught at the institution for a while. She worked as a Creative Director specializing in family amusement and leisure before entering the music industry.
She considered herself an expert in container design, retail, trend analysis, product ideas, social media, photos, video, and drawing. Previously, the season 21 American Idol contestant worked as a company Graphic Artist for all 500+ Chuck E. Cheese locations. She is currently the Creative Director for Art101, a children’s painting and activity company whose products are available at Walmart, Target, FiveBelow, Costco, and other retailers.
According to Madisonneisius.com’s profile:
“I graduated from the University of North Texas’s extremely difficult Communication Design program. (Each year, only 40 applicants out of over 300 are chosen!) “I majored in Media Design with a minor in Art History.”
It continues, saying:
“At my core, I am motivated by a desire to capture, create, share, and convey everything that life has to offer.”
Madison has performed alongside celebrities such as Vaden Todd Lewis. She also performed as a support act for Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and as a support act for The Wallflowers. She also performed with Nirvana at Dallas’ Trees. Madison’s music has been described as having lyrical lyrics, catchy melodies, and “moving music themes.” According to her website, her tracks have a creative punk, Joan Jett-inspired vocal.
The page continued, saying:
“Madison spent her birthday in the notorious month of March 2020 applying for layoff from her ideal job. She composed ‘The Quarantine Birthday Song’ as a coping strategy, which she supported with her first Homemade music video, which she shot alone in her apartment. In this environment, her multi-media ingenuity thrived.”
