Small Town Roots, Big Stage Dreams: Mackenzie May’s Story

Tons and Bell sat down with the effortlessly talented Mackenzie May, just 20 years old and already carving out a name for herself in country music. We take it back to where it all started – where Mackenzie grew up - and to the pivotal moments that shaped her path, from open mics to standing on the CMC Rocks stage - one of the biggest achievements of her career so far. She opens up about her 5-year goals, mapped out alongside Steven Green, CEO of Country Town, and the people who’ve backed her every step of the way – her mum and dad.  We chat about how she finds the spark to write songs, what little Mackenzie once dreamed of, and the advice she’d give her younger self. It’s a conversation full of heart, hustle, and honesty about what it really takes to grow up chasing music. Mackenzie also opens up about avoiding burnout in the industry, learning to grow at her own pace, and what it’s really like balancing high school with a blossoming music career – judgement and all. Talented, grounded, and wise beyond her years, Mackenzie leaves us with advice we all needed to hear – don’t miss this one!  A massive shoutout to the legends supporting this episode.
