About Madison

Madison Vickery spent 7+ years in A&R at a major label and time in artist and producer management, where she recognized that sustainable artistry requires more than talent alone. Burnout, creative fatigue, and mental health struggles often interrupted momentum—revealing that personal sustainability and growth are an essential part of artist development.

Her work operates on two interconnected levels. The strategic: A&R consulting, creative direction, brand architecture, collaboration strategy, and release planning. The foundational: coaching for mental clarity, emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness techniques that help creatives cultivate authentic expression and sustain high performance.

She brings over a decade of artist development experience to artists, writers, and producers seeking to align professional success, creative excellence and personal wellbeing.

Madison consults with labels, managers, and publishers on A&R and creative strategy, while maintaining a private coaching practice.

  • "Madison’s energy speaks for itself, but to experience her magic is truly a gift. She is a heart-centered leader and mentor who helped me have a breakthrough in our very first session, reflecting back to me things I didn’t even know I needed to hear. I leave our sessions feeling empowered, clear, and deeply supported. I cannot recommend her more highly, I know she’s going to support so many people in stepping deeper into their purpose.”

    -Marissa B.

  • “Madison gave me the clarity and tools I needed to prioritize what truly matters. Through her calm and thoughtful guidance, she helped me uncover how to carve out more time for my art, be fully present in my creative practice, and put myself before the demands of my 9-to-5. I leave our sessions with a renewed sense of focus, empowerment, and excitement for my artistry.”

    -Chloe M.

  • “Madison’s coaching sessions are a powerful reset. Her grounding presence, thoughtful guidance, and intentional breathwork helped me release tension I didn’t even know I was holding. I leave our sessions feeling lighter, more focused, and deeply connected to myself.”

    -Alex M.

  • "Madison helped me peel back the layers of the onion to really sit with my limiting beliefs. Her patient and non-judgemental inquiry created a compassionate space where it felt safe to work through my blocks, and I was able to make real progress on who I want to be and how I want to show up for myself."

    -Willow M.

  • “Working with Madison, I have more control over accomplishing my wellness goals, and a better idea on how to execute them. Before Madison, I felt “stuck” and like I was going in circles and not making any real progress. After our sessions, I walk away with tangible and clear next steps. She provides helpful ways to reframe my negative thinking. Madison is very kind, patient, thoughtful and encouraging. She has a very calming presence and a joy to work with.”

    -Mallory L.

Madison knows that sustainable creativity requires more than talent and opportunity—it requires inner resources. Artists, writers, and producers who are grounded, resilient, and creating from clarity don't just survive the industry; they shape it.

She bridges industry expertise and creative strategy with performance psychology and mindfulness-based practices—giving creatives the tools to sustain high performance, regulate under pressure, and create work that's both commercially viable and deeply authentic.
