Now, with Made To Rise, the thunder rolls on.

  Rio has fronted Madison Rising for 5 years and created 1 full length album “Battered Not Broken” and 2 EP's,”Battered Not Broken Remastered and Reloaded” and the heavily touted country EP “Boots and Roots”. Prior to Madison Rising, Rio worked with platinum producer and Grammy award winner Andrew Lane and hick-hop artist Forsaken. 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.

Tracy started music at a young age playing drums at the age of 5 and guitar at the age of 8. He taught marching percussion for several high schools before moving to live performance. 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!!
