Eight years have passed since Madison Beer’s meteoric ascension to fame was ignited by a tweet from the pop superstar Justin Bieber in 2012. In those eight years, she has starred in movies, released an EP, and most recently released her first full-length album. While these facts are widely known, here are seven additional interesting quirks about this beautiful and talented young artist.
1. She Was Bullied Before Justin Bieber’s Tweet
Before the world became formally introduced to Madison Beer’s signature vocal sound, she had humble beginnings honing her skill through covers on YouTube. At first, not everyone was a fan. In fact, classmates would tease her and give her a tough time for following her dream of becoming a musician. This all changed after Justin Bieber acknowledged her talent by tweeting that she was a “Future Star.” This tweet gave her the confidence she needed to make all the bullies eat their harsh words.
2. Madison Had a Role in the Film ‘Louder Than Words’
A little know fact about Madison Beer is that singing is not the only talent Madison has. Her first, and only, foray into acting was in the film ‘Louder Than Words’. The movie is about a grieving couple who built a children’s hospital after the death of their daughter, Maria. Madison played Amy, a friend of Maria, alongside David Duchovny. Although Beer only had two scenes in the movie, everyone has to start somewhere.
3. Madison Isn’t the Only Celebrity With Roots in Jericho
The small town of Jericho (Long Island), where Madison is from, has been the home of many artists. The most recognizable name to come out of this New York suburb is acting superstar Natalie Portman. Although Madison hasn’t been able to achieve the level of success enjoyed by Ms. Portman, she is well on her way.
4. She Wrote and Directed the Video for “Good in Goodbye”
Showcasing her many talents and an artistic eye, Madison wrote and directed the music video for her single “Good in Goodbye”. The spooky ambiance and eerie vibe of the video pairs well with her smoky sounding vocals.
5. Her Younger Brother Attends Berklee School of Music
Madison Beer isn’t the only talented one in her family. Her younger brother, who she is very proud of, is set to attend the prestigious Berklee School of Music. Notable alumni of this first-rate music school include Charlie Puth, Steven Tyler, and John Mayer.
6. She Thinks Quitting the Label, and Switching to Instagram Was a Mistake
A little known fact about Madison’s career is that Beer has hinted leaving her label to focus on building her image on Instagram was probably a mistake. If she had to repeat it over again, she would still leave the label, but shy away from the negativity that comes along with a significant social media presence.
7. She Is Friends With ‘Rick and Morty’ Creator Justin Roiland
If you visit Madison’s Instagram, you will find a video of an air hockey match between her and the co-creator of the hit TV show ‘Rick and Morty’. Madison says her favorite TV show is Rick and Morty and even has a monologue hidden in her new album. Maybe this friendship will lead to a role in Roiland’s latest creation on Hulu, ‘Solar Opposites’.
