MACY O AND THE SILVERLINKS
Hello, I’m Macy O and I’m a singer songwriter. I have been singing all my life, starting off with musical theatre, but then writing my original material since 2020. My first single ‘Thank them’, dedicated to the NHS, marked the beginning of my journey as an artist. In 2022 I wrote ‘I’m Your High’, a popular dance track (which has now accumulated 48,000 streams). I started gigging in 2022 and have performed at various venues across the UK including the cavern club. I have also performed at many festivals and on BBC introducing stages. In 2023, my song ‘love rampage’ managed to win me a young songwriter competition. I try my best to be a high energy performer, performing many genres including pop, classical, Motown, dance and ballads. I also cover a large period of time ranging from the 1940’s to now. In 2023, I released my debut album ‘journeys’ on all streaming platforms. Each song encapsulated something I had experienced, and I aimed to make it emotional and something the listener could relate to. Music is a passion of mine and always will be and I aim to make that clear in my performances.
