Madison Cunningham joins host Stephen Kallao

Twenty-two year-old artist, Madison Cunningham, got started earlier than most. She’s been seriously pursuing her songwriting since age 12, and moved to L.A. in her late teens – Fully prepared to fail, as she explains in a conversation with host Stephen Kallao today. This summer, she released her debut album, Who Are You Now, and she’s at the World Cafe to talk about the music industry and her journey, and what makes for a good cover song.
