Biography

Hinton was born in Miami, Florida. In 2004, Hinton launched Bigdickbitch.com, a porn pay website. She began starring in and independently producing and distributing videos and pictures online. She formed Raw Dawgg Entertainment/RDE Multimedia Group in 2009. She also is the host of the Queens Court show.

Madison rose to fame in 2013 after going viral following the release of a Vine clip called "New Weave 22 Inches." The video features Madison exposing her nude body.[1]

Once cited by the Huffington Post as a "trans viral" sensation,[2] Hinton created a YouTube channel and began conducting self-interviews talking about issues in the transgender adult services industry. In 2011, she made a guest appearance on the season finale of Kandi Koated Nights. In December 2013, she was interviewed by the internet magazine Examiner.com.

After working on a Vine video to promote activist and songwriter Mary Lambert’s single "Secrets," she hosted Gay Pride events in Springfield, Missouri, and Toronto, Ontario.[3] Ts Madison signed a recording and media contract with Pink Money Records in 2014 and released her first single "Feeling My Fish" shortly after. On January 19, Madison's debut album The New Supreme was released.[4]

French cultural magazine Les Inrockuptibles interviewed Hinton about lifestyles and issues affecting the transgender community. In July she made a guest appearance on RuPaul: What's the Tee? Hinton, with RuPaul and his cohost Michelle Visage, discussed pop culture, fashion and beauty advice. She also was interviewed by Gay Life Television. In October, stand-up comedian and musician Jonny McGovern interviewed her for the season finale of his web show Hey Qween.[5] In October 2014, Madison's debut album The New Supreme was released. She began taping the second season of her web series "Wait a Minute" through World of Wonder Productions. In late November, the Huffington Post did an in-depth feature story on Hinton. She discussed faith, religion and accomplishments with the New York City-based news magazine.[6] Urban celebrity news magazine Rolling Out interviewed Hinton about her career and issues affecting the LGBT community .[7][8][9][10]

Ambiente magazine stated that she talks "about self-empowerment and strength in her community rather to coddle and promote self-pity [sic] to those affected by the word "Tranny" in one of her most controversial videos this past year while addressing ex Rupaul's [sic] Drag Race contestant Carmen Carrera over her backlash towards RuPaul and the censorship of the term "She-Male" used during seasons of drag race."[11] She has since changed her opinion about the slur and no longer uses it.[12] She talked about how her transition emulated her mother's image. Shift (MSNBC) TV host Janet Mock was one of the inspirations behind Madison's 2015 memoir A Light Through the Shade: An Autobiography of a Queen.[13]

In 2017, she began co-hosting The Queen’s Court, a weekly gossip show with friend and rapper Khia. When Madison and Khia parted ways, Khia no longer a co-host of the show, Madison began co-hosting the Queens Supreme Court (renamed from Queens Court in 2018) with various guest pop culture icons and social media stars, including Tiffany "New York" Pollard, originally of Vh1's Flavor of Love fame. The show has received media attention, and Ts Madison has taken the show on the road to several U.S. cities and internationally.

In 2019, Silky Nutmeg Ganache played Madison in the Snatch Game episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 and won the episode.[14]

In July of 2019, Hinton recorded a live show of "The Queen's Supreme Court" in the Dominican Republic with judge Funky Dineva and the "Maddie Mobb."
