Orange County Local reaches for the Stars in Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Star Launch Search

Writing her first song for Aliso Viejo’s Saint Mary and All Angel’s 8th grade graduation at the tender age of 12, Orange County native Stevi Madison has always known that performing music and entertaining crowds was part of her destiny, and today through Cosmopolitan Magazine’s StarLaunch Search, the rest of the world is going to know it too.

Stevi has been performing and working on her music career since the age of four, but 2008 seems to be the year when everyone else has really started taking notice. At the beginning of this year Stevi’s song “Beautiful” was featured on the second “Music for Troops CD” compilation, going out to support our armed forces around the world. “Regardless of how you feel about war, these brave men and women are putting their lives on the line to defend our country and we need to support them”, says Madison about her contribution, and being a contribution is the focal point of Stevi’s music career.

After signing to talent manager and entertainment publicist, Morgan McKean of Morgan Blaire & Co., Stevi’ s song “Ready for My Life” was chosen as the theme song for the charity organization “Fight Pink Chocolate”, which supports Cancer patients and their families. She also donated her time and talent to the “Inaugural Jam 2008” benefit concert, which raised funds to send Lucerne Valley Middle School students on a living history field trip to Washington D.C. in January 2009.

Through Morgan’s direction, Stevi is becoming a first-rate entertainer and recently signed on to perform in the “Give It 2 Me LIVE” tour, which features “The Rocturnals” (known best for their hit “If I….” from the Academy Award winning movie “Crash”) and sixth season American Idol™ finalist, Paul Kim. While knee deep practice sessions, tour rehearsals and production meetings, Stevi received the best news of the year. Cosmopolitan Magazine announced that Stevi Madison was a top ten semifinalist in their StarLaunch search for the next “Fun, Fearless, Female” musician.

In order to make into the final three, where she will get to open for Natasha Bedingfield & Solange Knowles, as well as hang out with MTV’s Damien Fahey at the concert in New York City on December 5th, she is asking you, Santa and everyone else she knows to go to www.cosmopolitan.com/starlaunch and vote again and again.

If Stevi makes it to Terminal 5, she becomes the winner of the Cosmo’s StarLaunch Search and will get to work with a ‘hit-making’ producer, receive thousands of dollars (for all her hard work) and become part of the Cosmo family.

Let’s make this local girl’s dream of becoming a STAR come true, so we can say we knew her when. She’s made it this far already, so get out there and vote, vote and vote again.
