HAILING FROM THE SMALL TOWN OF HULL, GA, MACKENZIE CARPENTER IS THE SPUNKY BLONDE GIRL-NEXT-DOOR THAT FELL IN LOVE WITH MUSIC AS A KID, WRITING ALONGSIDE HER BROTHERS AND SINGING IN CHURCH. YEARS LATER, THE OUTSPOKEN SINGER-SONGWRITER IS BREAKING THE MOLD FOR SMALL-TOWN WOMEN BY WRITING AND SINGING HER TRUTH, ARMED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT EVERYONE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF “HOT MESS” IN THEM, NO MATTER HOW SHINY THE BOOK COVER MAY SEEM. WITH AN UPBRINGING CONSISTING OF A ROWDY SUPPORT SYSTEM, BACK PORCH HOOTENANNIES AND JUICY DRAMA, THE AFFABLE AND KIND CARPENTER ALSO EMBRACES THE CRAZY AND “TACKY” ASPECTS THAT MAKE LIFE MORE INTERESTING. FANS ARE LOVING SIRIUSXM HIGHWAY FIND, “CAN’T NOBODY,” TIKTOK VIRAL, “HUNTIN’ SEASON,” VULNERABLE “JESUS I’M JEALOUS” AND HER LATEST GIRL’S GIRL ANTHEM, “DON’T MESS WITH EXES.” NEW TUNE “THROW YOU BACK” WAS ALSO THROWN INTO THE MIX ON THE ARTIST’S SELF-TITLED DEBUT EP, PUTTING HER CHEEKY YET NUANCED SONGWRITING ABILITY ON FULL DISPLAY ACROSS THE FIVE SONGS. CARPENTER MOST RECENTLY CHANNELED HER INNER CYNDI LAUPER, ADDING JUST ENOUGH COUNTRY TWANG TO AN ‘80S CLASSIC IN “COUNTRY GIRLS (JUST WANNA HAVE FUN).” SINCE SIGNING HER FIRST RECORD DEAL WITH THE VALORY MUSIC CO. IN 2022, MACKENZIE HAS BEEN NAMED TO SPOTIFY’S HOT COUNTRY 2024 ARTISTS TO WATCH, CMT’S NEXT WOMEN OF COUNTRY CLASS OF 2023, NASHVILLE BRIEFING’S ARTISTS TO WATCH 2023 AND MANY MORE SPOTLIGHT PROGRAMS. SHE RECENTLY WRAPPED THE THE LUCKY TOUR WITH HER “I’M NOT PRETTY” CO-WRITER AND FRIEND, MEGAN MORONEY AND PLANS TO HIT THE ROAD WITH COLE SWINDELL ON THE WIN THE NIGHT TOUR AND DYLAN MARLOWE ON THE DIRT ROAD WHEN I DIE TOUR FOR SELECT DATES THIS SPRING. THE RISING STAR MADE HER GRAND OLE OPRY DEBUT IN JUNE AND HAS ALREADY OPENED FOR TALENTS LIKE MIRANDA LAMBERT, JAKE OWEN, PARKER MCCOLLUM, CRAIG CAMPBELL AND RYAN HURD. LAST YEAR, CARPENTER TOOK THE STAGE AT MAJOR EVENTS LIKE CMA FEST, COUNTRY THUNDER, TORTUGA MUSIC FESTIVAL, STAGECOACH.
