Trent and Tonya Poppe’s daughter Maddie, who was raised in Clarksville, Iowa, loved to sing from an early age. Even though she frequently entertained her family, she didn’t start formally showing her talents until middle school.
Poppe continued her education at Iowa Central Community College and later Hawkeye Community College after graduating from Clarksville High School in 2016. Her father is a musician and a guitarist, thus she comes from a musical household. In fact, she routinely played at the Pioneer Days celebration alongside him and his band.
When Poppe began performing at the Butler County Fairgrounds in Allison, Iowa, her musical career really took off. She also worked as a stagehand at the county fair, helping to set up equipment for bands before she became well-known as a vocalist.
When recalling instances when she prioritized landing work over paying attention in class, Poppe said she was opposed to settling for activities she didn’t enjoy. She values longevity and the pure joy of playing and being involved in music more than fame itself.
