Bailey began to play music and write songs at the age of seven. She played in the marching band of Boyceville High School and graduated in 2011.

Madilyn Bailey began her career shortly before graduating from high school by covering popular songs and posting them on YouTube, gathering over 100 million views. In 2012, Bailey joined Keep Your Soul Records to assist with the production of her material and moved to Los Angeles in 2013. Bailey toured the United States and Canada with Boyce Avenue in the second half of 2013. She later described it by saying "It was an amazing experience being on the road for the first time". She has stated that she has been inspired by Michelle Branch and Kina Grannis. In 2015, her rendition of the song "Titanium", originally by David Guetta and Sia, gained airplay on Virgin Radio in France. This led to a recording contract with PlayOn in France, a label of Warner Music Group. The song charted in France and Belgium—as did the follow-up, a cover of Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive". In October 2015, Bailey released an album of covers in France, entitled Muse Box, supported by the single "Rude" feat. Flula. A fourth single, a cover of Cher's "Believe", appeared in early 2016.

She was picked in April 2018 as Elvis Duran's Artist of the Month. She was featured on NBC's Today show hosted by Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford, broadcast nationally in the United States on April 20, 2018, where Bailey performed a live version of her single "Tetris". In 2018, her original song "Drunk on a Feeling" was featured on the American action-drama TV series Station 19. In 2021, Madilyn appeared on the 16th season of America's Got Talent, performing an original song made out of hate comments, which had gained over 20 million views on YouTube. In her audition, she received 4 yeses from the judges. She moved onto the top 36, to perform a cover of David Guetta and Sia's "Titanium" in the quarter-final 1.

In 2014, Bailey married James Benrud. In June 2023 she announced that she and Benrud were expecting their first child together. On November 15, 2023, Bailey gave birth to a daughter. In 2021, Bailey was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. Bailey is dyslexic.
