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.
