With a sincere love for our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, Mackenzie will bring a strong anointing and a powerful
voice to any service. Even though she is only ten years old, the
Lord has richly blessed her with a precious gift to carry to the world.
Saved and baptized at the age of eight, this is a responsibility that she takes very seriously.
Mackenzie has been taught by loving Christian parents that her gifts and
talents have been given to her to use for the glory of God.
Mackenzie sings
Southern and Country Gospel, as well as Contemporary Christian
songs. She is the happiest
when she is singing, and it's easy to see as she praises the
Lord for His precious mercy, love and grace.
When she
isn't singing, Mackenzie loves drawing, writing books and movie
scripts, reading, and acting out movies. She is also very
active in her home church. She has made many friends at
singing events that she enjoys seeing whenever she can.
Mackenzie
has been singing since the age of two. She began singing
in church at the age of five and was singing for funerals of
loved ones by the time she was six. The first singing
competition
she ever entered, she won at the age of seven. Since then,
God has been opening many doors for her to sing in churches, as
well as professional theaters, fairs, festivals, civic
functions, and other special events in many different states.
Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio, Maryland, and of
course, Kentucky, are included in the many states she has had
the opportunity to sing in.
Mackenzie
has been blessed to open for such great Southern Gospel artists
as Karen Peck & New River, The Isaacs, Kevin Spencer & Friends,
Wade Spencer, and The Rowlands just to name a few. She
sang several times at the Osmond Theater in Branson, Missouri
and most recently, the Old Smokey Hoedown in Pigeon Forge,
Tennessee.
Some of
Mackenzie's most recent accomplishments include being awarded
artist endorsement from Christian Music Presenters of Nashville.
The group, more commonly referred to as CMP, serves as a liaison
between artists and concert presenters. This endorsement followed an in
depth interview and audition process that Mackenzie and her
parents completed.
As an
endorsed artist of CMP, Mackenzie was blessed to be selected to
sing in our nation's capital for the annual "Pageant of Peace."
This event was held beside the National Christmas Tree on the
Ellipse of the White House in Washington, D.C. on December 23,
2006. It was a dream come true for her. You can also visit

has been blessed with a long list of awards in her short career.

Mackenzie has also independently released two songs to
national and international radio. Her songs,
"Christian in the House" and "Testify," were released during
2006 with amazing results. Her songs did very well on
several different Country Gospel Music Charts throughout the
nation ranging from #4 to #47 on the Top 100.
These
are amazing accomplishments for someone so young, but
Mackenzie is not the least bit fazed by all of this
attention. She's just having a lot of fun traveling
the country and singing for the Lord. Her message and
her priority remains clear... Jesus Christ, Son of God, and
Him crucified for our sins. This message of love, hope
and encouragement is what she intends to carry to all the
world wherever the Lord allows her to go.
Mackenzie
would love to come to your next service or event and share
with you the wonderful love of Jesus in her life. If
you would like to schedule her in your area, please contact

May
the Grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you
all!
