Mad Gallica is an American singer-keyboardist-composer. Her style is best described as cinematic rock opera.
Mad Gallica grew up touring the southeast with her family, performing old-time Appalachian music and songs her parents had written, often singing harmony and playing a range of instruments. Music resonated strongly at an early age and continued through intense study of classical piano and voice.
Mad Gallica has toured the world as back-up singer and keyboardist opening for bands ranging from Metallica and Ozzy to Guns N’ Roses and System Of A Down.
​
Mad Gallica's latest debut EP, Enter The Vortex: Act One, was released April 12th, 2024 on all streaming platforms. Accompanied by the Czech Studio Orchestra in Prague, co-produced and co-arranged with Hayden C. Scott (AWOL Nation, Paramore) and mixed by multi-platinum Grammy-winner Bob Horn (Usher, Michael Jackson, Kelly Clarkson), this progressive rock opera received initial funding from a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign supported by hundreds of fans and highlighted on Kickstarter as a "Project We Love."
Inspired by Mad Gallica's personal story, Act One explores her near death experience in which she leaves her body and journeys through the Vortex to the Beyond Within. Here she discovers an intergalactic rose nebula—the origin of her soul—and learns the reason behind her incarnation on Earth. This genre-bending composition arose from what Mad describes as the fever dreams and sonic hallucinations she experienced while overcoming a three year illness.
Enter The Vortex: Act One is an epic space odyssey of uninhibited artistry featuring Mad's dramatic vocal performance backed by a colossal choir, driving rock elements, and a powerful orchestral arrangement that invites listeners to embrace their Madness and explore the beyond within themselves.
Mad is currently in pre-production of her 17 song album, Periwinkle Sky set to release in fall of 2024. This piano-driven album debuts her new band and brings back the string arrangements fans loved in "Souls on Fire." Fans of her acoustic single "Beautiful Creature" can expect a new, fully produced sound in this upcoming sonic adventure.
