NASHVILLE, TN. – Promising talent, Tyra Madison, is celebrating the release of the accompanying music video for her latest single, “Lightning,”. Produced by Heather LeRoy of LeRoy Pictures, the music video debuts today on CMT.com. The track was produced by industry vets Brad Hill and Lee Holland (Brothers Osborne, Maren Morris, Brett Young).
Tyra explains the inspiration behind the video: “‘Lightning’ expresses the vulnerability by accepting the hurt that is felt but also shows a side of confidence needed to walk away. The music video portrays these two feelings through a more natural look, which is the vulnerable side and a glam look which represents the confidence side.”
No stranger to the stage, Tyra began her singing career at the tender age of four, where she would attend the local “Pickin’ and Grinnin’ with her papaw. This time spent with bluegrass musicians, including her papaw and uncle, really shaped Tyra’s love for music and the trajectory for her life. It was winning her school talent show in Kindergarten by singing “You are My Sunshine” a cappella that sealed the deal. It was then that she knew exactly what she wanted to be.
Being from a one stop light town, Tyra performed anywhere she could from festivals, schools, sporting events, benefits, etc. It was an opportunity to perform in the prestigious Kentucky Opry Junior Pros that allowed the then teenager to hone her stage presence and mature as a performer. Her first break came when Tyra was noticed by talent scouts and was chosen to be in the cast of Lifetime reality series, “Chasing Nashville.” This opportunity led her to release her first EP Firestarter and land an opening slot for Maddie and Tae.
A recent graduate of Belmont University, Tyra has showcased her powerhouse vocals on the releases of “Saturdays Are For The Girl” and “Right Girl, Wrong Time.” The future proves bright for this promising talent with an infectious personality that effortlessly combines talent with small town charm.
