Westfield's Own Madison Curbelo will be Performing Live
11 AM-12:30 PM

Madison Curbelo is a talented singer-songwriter and musical artist hailing from Westfield, Massachusetts. She gained recognition as a contestant on The Voice season 25. Music has always been an integral part of her life, and she used singing to overcome a stutter. Madison plays the guitar and the ukulele, and she released her first two singles, “My Baby Mine” in 2021 and “Old Dog” in 2022. She also auditioned for American Idol, earning a golden ticket. Her joyful tone and charisma impressed the coaches during her second Voice audition, leading to a four-chair turn. Madison’s confident artistry shines through, and she’s now mentored by the duo Dan + Shay on her Season 25 journey. You can watch her stellar performance of “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King on YouTube.
