Alaska and Madi

Born on May 15, 1995 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Madi Ann Metcalf has had a passion for music from an early age.  She hummed the ABC’s before she could actually pronounce the letters.  At the age of thirteen, Madi began taking vocal lessons singing classical music.  From that time on, she has sung a variety of genre’s, ranging from country to musical theater.  In 2014 Madi’s musical talent gained national attention when she auditioned for and was chosen to be a contender as part of “Team Blake” on NBC’s sixth season of The Voice. Madi is half of the singing duo, Alaska and Madi.

Born on September 17, 1994 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Alaska Rayne Holloway at the age of two ran to the front of Walt Disney World’s train and announced, “I am going to sing now.”  The young songstress then proceeded to belt out, “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” to anyone and everyone within earshot.  Seventeen years later, Alaska would once again be commanding the attention of a captivated crowd on season 6 of the popular NBC show, The Voice.  Paired with singing partner Madi Metcalf as the Country duo, “Alaska and Madi”, the girls competed on “Team Blake” under the direction of fellow Oklahoman, Coach Blake Shelton.
