"The Unknown" is part of her upcoming EP "Blossom" and is an uplifting and positive vintage Pop/Soul song that evokes optimism and captures the blossoming feeling of springtime. We have conducted an interview with Maddy about her new release. Tell us a little more about your EP "BLOSSOM" and what people can expect from the songs? For this EP I wanted to remind people of the powerful emotions that come from pure and acoustic music, the warmth of a cello, the sustained note on a piano and the vibrato of a soft and warm voice.

As a stand-up Comedian and actor, where do you normally get your inspirations for your comedy? I get my inspirations from daily events. I grew up in a rebuilding country after the war in Kosovo, and everything you did during that time was a challenge. In a third world country, there's always enough to talk about, you just have to find the funny way of saying things. We laugh through pain, so I decided to tell my story in a funny way. I started out talking about my country but comedy is something that gives you space to...
