Madison, a.k.a. Tavonia Taylor was born and raised in Jamaica Queens, NY.  Coming from musical parents (her mother sang lead in her gospel group and her father was a popular NY radio DJ), Madison caught the Hip-Hop bug at the age of eight while listening to a playback of her brother Lovelace's first demo.

At the age of 11, Madison moved to Long Island to live with her father  where she would attend Junior High School. Due to the fact that there wasn't any Rap/R&B Videos stations on Long Island at that time, Madison was exposed to MTV. It was this important time frame between the ages of 11 and 13 where Madison fell in love with Heavy Rock Music.

In 1993, Madison moved back to her Queens neighborhood where she began entering & winning local rap battles and talent showcases. After an intense three years of performing, recording, & battling, she was ready for the big stage. At the age of 16, Madison (known as Shadoe then) had already performed as an opening act for many national acts including The Notorious B.I.G, Lil, Kim, Mase and Ludicris, and has created a loyal and growing following.

In the spring of 1998, Madison won B.E.T's nationally televised "Teen Summit Talent Showcase". In 2001, she went on to win Emcee battles on "106th & Park Free Style Friday".

In the studio, Madison has recorded for and worked with: Teddy Riley, Chauncey Black, (Black Street) Robbie Williams, LL Cool J, Mr. Cheeks, DJ Premiere, Cory Rooney, Rocwilder, Ayatollah and has written seven songs on Heather Hunter's new album "The Unexpected" with a feature on the album in stores now.

Her musical interest cover many genres, but its her love of rock and rap (Aerosmith, Nirvana, Run Dmc, Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ozzy Osborne, Nas etc.) that has guided her to her true love and the perfect Musical Mix "Hip Rock".

Together with Producer/Engineer/Composer/ Alan Scott Plotkin (Public Enemy, Aerosmith, RunDMC, Vanessa Williams), they have created the alternative blend of Rock and Hip Hop.
