Madii Schomogyi - known professionally as Miss Madii - now a local music teacher, recording first album
Madii Schomogyi’s career in music as a singer, guitarist and pianist is not only a story of a young person doing what she loves for a living.
“My mom said ‘just try it.’ I went to my very first practice and from that point on I ate all my lunches in the group’s classroom. Sometimes I would even skip class to go hang out there and do more music. Immediately I was super into it.” She also became a Korah Collegiate Musical Theatre student, instructed by now-retired musical theatre teacher Denine Williams, and appeared in Korah productions of Grease, The Little Mermaid and The Sound of Music.
The hard work has paid off and Schomogyi - known professionally as Miss Madii - has played with her group Lime at local eateries and clubs as well as last summer’s Rotaryfest. "Rock music is fun for me but I also really like the challenge of theatre pieces. At Algoma University I’ve done a lot of classical pieces, singing in other languages. I love the challenge of that for sure but my favourite is rock.”“It didn’t come easy but I worked at it. I won a songwriting contest and the prize was that you got to record a song with Dustin Jones . That’s become a huge outlet for me. It’s like journaling.”“They were doing interviews.
“Something that’s super rewarding is when you see that child having that lightbulb moment of ‘this is really fun!’ To think I could impact their musical journey is awesome.”She describes her songs as “folky with a country twang.”
