About Mackenzie Morgan
Mackenzie Morgan has achieved major success for a
fourteen year-old girl. She has won 10 international awards, as well as
many other state and regional awards for Entertainer, Vocalist, and
Young Performer of
the Year in several different organizations that she
is currently a member of. In February '08, she was awarded
a special
citation from the KY State Senate, her home state, for these
accomplishments. She has sung all over
the eastern United States in
fairs, festivals, churches, concerts, and professional theaters. One of
her favorite
venues was singing at the White House "Pageant of Peace"
beside the National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C. when she was nine
years old. Some of her other favorite venues have been "Maury's Most
Talented Kids 2009"show in New York City, All Star Planet in Los
Angeles, CA where she won a singer/songwriter competition in 2009,
and
her one-hour concert with a live band that she played for Riverbend
Festival 2009 in Chattanooga, TN.
In March of 2008, Mackenzie and her parents made the
decision to move to Tennessee for Mackenzie to further her singing
career. She accepted the position of full-time Young Performer at the
Jukebox Junction Family Theater. It didn't take long for the town of
Chattanooga to find out
about Mackenzie. In her first year living there,
she was asked by the Chattanooga Visitors Bureau and Sports Events
Committee to perform the National Anthem at two different Final NCAA
Championship
Games, one football and one basketball. She has made several television appearances in and around Chattanooga,
Nashville, and Northern Georgia. In February 2009, she was spotted on
You Tube by producers of the Maury Povich Show. Producer Allison DeFranco said, "We have searched the internet
for months trying to find
our "country singer" for this show and we knew we had found her when we
found Mackenzie!" Mackenzie and her parents were flown two weeks later
to The Maury Show and Mackenzie
made her national television debut on
the "Maury's Most Talented Kids 2009" show which aired in March '09.
Just recently Mackenzie performed at the Limelight in
Nashville to benefit the kids of the Nashville floods.
She has also sung
for the Red Cross in LA for All Star Planet and several times for Relay
for Life which
benefits The American Cancer Society. On numerous
occasions, she has performed at churches for individuals
who needed help
and at an early age used to sing at the nursing home that her mother
worked at.
B@BYM@C, as she is affectionately called by her
friends, completed her second and final season December of 2009 as
the featured
Young Performer at the Jukebox Junction Family Theater located at the
World Famous
Chattanooga Choo Choo in beautiful downtown Chattanooga,
TN. The Choo Choo Cha Boogie Variety Show
and the 50’s & 60’s Rock N’
Roll Revue combined in to a two hour show for one evening of fun. Along
with
acting, dancing and singing backup vocals for the rest of the cast,
Mackenzie was featured in quite a few of
her own special numbers.
Billy Baker, performer and co-producer at Jukebox
Junction Family Theater recognized Mackenzie’s amazing gifts and
featured her in her first professional appearances at his popular
theater in Pigeon Forge
in 2006. "I’ve worked with many talented kids in
my shows through the years, but none have the focus, intuitiveness and
inner calm that she possesses. I truly believe her to be destined for
greatness. On top
of everything, she is grounded and grateful for the
gifts that God has given her," says Baker. "She’s a Melissa Franklin.
Mackenzie had never set out to be a famous singer, but
when she and her parents saw the reaction of her growing fan base ever
since her first public appearance at the age of seven, they realized God
was
leading them somewhere. Mackenzie knows that her life will always be
centered around music and she's very excited about the future. She hopes
to be doing a lot of acting one day as well.
Mackenzie has been singing as long as she can remember. For this amazingly talented girl, music hasalways been a big
part of her life. Her singing began just as a lot of singers' careers
begin, in church. She
started singing in church when she was five
years-old, southern and country gospel. So her roots come from gospel music, but she became a country music fan when she saw "The Coal
Miner's Daughter" movie at age 7. From that day she began a
love for country music, especially Patsy Cline &
Loretta Lynn. She has been singing country ever since. She knows in her
heart that music is what she was born to do.
When Mackenzie is not singing, she's your typical
fourteen
year-old girl. She loves to read, and write songs,
books, plays, and
movie scripts. She is currently writing a mystery novel that she plans
to turn in to a series
and hopes to have them published one day. She
also loves acting, dancing, swimming, riding her bike, and
hanging out
with her friends, texting, and playing her guitar.
