Personal life

Madagame was born in 1990. He is an Odawa Native American.[11]

Madagame is a queer, transmasculine non-binary person.[12] He started hormone replacement therapy in 2015,[5] which had the side effect of altering his voice.[4]

Prior to transitioning Madagame was a mezzo soprano.[13] When considering whether or not to transition, Madagame was initially told that he "wouldn't be able to sing anymore professionally" due to the effects of testosterone on the voice.[13] He eventually contacted a singing teacher at the University of Michigan who suggested that as a result of the changes he might become a tenor, remarking "how exciting is that?"[13] His voice eventually settled into the tenor range, with Madagame remarking that his voice "is a completely different instrument", and that while he was a good student and had a lot of the same abilities, he was still "starting from the ground up".[13]

As of 2021, he resides in Berlin, Germany.[5]
