Back at the end of 2022, Mackenzy Mackay celebrated reaching 10,000 followers on Instagram by posting a snippet of a new song he was working on. Filmed against a white brick wall and featuring nothing but Mackay’s soulful vocal and some plaintive piano chords, it was a clip of a track called Venus. It was only 34 seconds long but it sent the York-born, Scottish-raised 29-year-old into a whole new realm.The world suddenly woke up to this startling singer-songwriter who could meld urgent, hip-hop-style delivery with a rich, emotional croon. His socials went crazy. Within a week, 10k followers became 100k. Rabid new converts were eager to know when the full version of Venus would be released and the numbers kept going up: 200k by January, 300k by March.
Soon he was matching his online rise with success the old-school way, hitting the road, the venues getting bigger with every tour, his diehard fans packing out rooms and singing his words back to him. Under two years since playing his first ever live show at the Troubadour in 2023, this year he sold out London’s 2,300- capacity O2 Forum. His songs document relationships, making sense of life in your twenties and sticking to your dreams even when everyone tells you to snap out of it. They have connected on a huge scale – he’s already amassed over 250 million streams.
