Made 2 Rise hails from the Mid-Atlantic, consisting of Ted Hile (drums), Adam Lefevre (bass), Tracy Weller (guitars), and Rio (vocals), and have been bringing their brand of hard rock (metal/melodic core) to the reqion for quite a while. They have each carved their way through the blue collar world, while at the same time ripping stages all over. However, now they have turned their attention and determination to making an impact nationally and internationally as this group of “old heads” are preparing to kick the door, of the rock world, wide open and solidify their place at the table.
With their release of their first EP, EP.I.DEMIC in 2021 and their full length ANOMALY in 2022, they came out swinging as they hit the road with Gemini Syndrome, as well as sharing festival stages with Black Label Society, Nonpoint, Stitched Up Heart, Buck Cherry, Black Stone Cherry, Adelita’s Way, Any Given Sin, Otherwise, and many others.
The M2R family lost one of our visionaries in 2020, Rich Mgrdechian, and we want to let him know that he will not be forgotten. However, the show must go on.
"Much love Rich, We got it from here"

He attributes his intense energy, southern bluesy vocal mix, and touch of hardline grit to his influences Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, Sully Erna, and LJ Witherspoon. Now as the future has unfolded itself, with the loss of Madison Rising creator Rich Mgrdechian, he and the rest of the guys will continue on as the, MR re-branded, ass kickers Made 2 Rise.

His musical ventures had him playing in several bands over the years either on drums or playing guitar. Tracy played drums for recording artist Darcie Miner before starting his own writing venture on guitar, Sakred Realm, which gained local attention and had airplay on several local radio stations. He also had the opportunity to share the stage with some great national acts such as Drowning Pool, Wasp, Brett Michaels, Vince Neil, and Cinderella. Tracy welcomed the opportunity to do some writing with M2R and will be holding down the guitar duties on stage with them. After a long hiatus from playing live, he is more than ready to start melting faces again and can’t wait to meet all of the M2R fans!!
