Emerging R&B/soul recording artist Dayna Madison is "lighting a fire" to the industry with her vibrant personality, go-getter mentality and melodic singing. The former NBA Memphis Grizzlies dancer embarked on a path of artistry to embody the full essence of being a performer. As both a dancer and singer, Madison cultivates her fans through softly-laid, yet powerful lyricism. No stranger to the hustle and bustle of the industry as an independent artist, she is making strides towards becoming a household name with her viral new single "Light a Fire," thanks to a co-sign from the iconic Toni Braxton. Dayna Madison shows no sign of letting up as she's heating up the music scene one song at a time.
