We had the good fortune of connecting with Madison Orange and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Madison, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
Doing what I love for a living is my ultimate happiness. It comes with stresses and pressure, but it’s what drives me.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a professional LED & Fire Dancer. I integrate that into my DJ sets. I have learned to accommodate the scene I am performing to by playing music and performing in a way that is appropriate to the venue or clients vibe. I have gotten to where I am by being focused on my goal with no outside distractions that make me feel like I can not pursue my art. Lessons I have learned are if there’s a music or dance genre you like personally, you might not be able to perform that right away until the audience trusts you . Ease them in with something they already know and then give them something extra creative. I want the world to know following your heart and dreams, even when hard or stressful, in the end feels right.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I live in Los Angeles but I do get an opportunity to travel for work.
In LA I’d suggest walking Venice Beach in the day time. Checking out Hollywood Blvd for some wild culture.
And if you are interested in underground music scene, use the app “partiful” to find events all over LA that you can meet people and dance to good music.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My best friend Rebecca Hamilton & my boyfriend Brian Crain
