Mackenzy Mackay releases "Postcards"
Written & performed by Mackenzy, the song bears all the hallmarks of the Yorkshire-born guitarist, singer and songwriter’s knack for penning lyrics drawn from personal experiences while on the road and combining them with a catchy, unforgettable earworm of a melody.
Of the song, Mackenzy says: ”The song is about having a distance between you and your other half. It always sucks being far away from the one you love but there are ways to make it suck a little less I guess. Playing shows in all these amazing places for amazing people - I absolutely love that, however the downside is being away from home, but knowing it’ll all be okay in the end when I get home and get to see the one I’ve been missing. There’s nothing better than that feeling.”
Born in Yorkshire but now based in London, Mackenzy Mackay’s unique voice and songcraft has earned him a huge following both online and at his shows, with 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone and a recent sold out UK and European tour. His upbringing saw him travel & live in many countries across the globe - from Scotland to New Zealand and more. This nomadic lifestyle has inspired and informed many of his songs and lyrics, lending a unique perspective to his music. His unsettled and at times difficult journey to today is also testament to how much Mackenzy has achieved on his own, and how far he has come. From playing small venues to selling out shows to crowds of over 1,500 fans in the space of only twelve months - including selling out his New York show in under an hour.
