The Franco-german singer Marine Madelin comes from a musical family. She discovered her love for music and dance when her family moved in next to a music school. She then started learning the piano, later the recorder, and discovered ballet. Her enthusiasm for singing led her to the Parisian music college, where she discovered her passion for the stage. After the Baccalauréat she started her studies at the Musikhochschule in Freiburg, where she made her first professional experiences as a soloist. She finished her Masters degree in 2021 with Christine Schäfer and Ursula Hesse von den Steinen at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin.
Marine Madelin sings regularly with her Duo partner Luise Enzian, a barock harpist, and forms a duo with her sister Cécile, also a soprano. The sisters performed a concert with Emmanuelle Haïm for the opening of the Festival Jeunes Talents in Paris and also sung the opening concert of the Festival Rencontres Musicales et Scientifiques in Avignon. She performed as Euridice and La Musical in Monteverdis Orfeo and as Susanna in Mozarts Nozze di Figaro at the Festival de St Felix en Lauragais and in Freiburg, and performed in the production Wolfskinder at the Neuköllner Oper. During Covid, she worked in different filmed productions for example at the Neuköllner Oper, for the concert series „Unerhörte Musik“ in Berlin, or the Höri Musiktage Bodensee.
In September 2021 she won the 1. Prize of the John Cage Interpretation Award. Since 2016 she is supported by the Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Foundation, which supports young artists in Berlin.
