The following are answers we were able to ask Mckenzie about her music.

Mckenzie, when did you start singing? I started about 3 years ago when I sang to my Grand Parents. I loved it so much that I then started singing in retirement homes and children’s hospitals.

Was it your dream to be a singer? I first wanted to get into acting but things changed and I started writing songs.

Does your parents support you? Yes mum and dad are right there behind me all the way.

Do you write your own songs? Yes for sure. Im always writing every week. Its something that just comes to me.

If so, tell us what goes into writing a great song? It can be the smallest of things that I see like a couple sitting on a park bench or something that has happened in my life and circle of friends. I will have to put it down in a song. Sometimes its the words first but it can also be a melody.

Where was your first performance, were you excited? My first performances were at retirement homes. Not so much exciting but very rewarding to see the smiles on some of the residents faces.

Where have you been able to  perform? LA, NY, North and South Carolina, Atlanta, Nashville, New Zealand and Australia

Who inspires you with your sing and songwriting? Delta Goodrem, Colbie Caillat, Garth Brooks and John Mayer

If you could perform anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? Maddison Square garden, I guess its the ultimate.

Along the same line, who would you love to perform with? One Direction, Delta Goodrem

What are some of your goals for your Music? To get my music out there to as many people as possible and to make people happy.

What do you hope to accomplish with your singing/songwriting? Tell great stories and write with some of the best in the music industry
