Mackenzie Sol
Mackenzie is an 18-year old triple threat, born to professional singer parents, from humble beginnings in Northern England. He was just four years old when he earned accolades from Simon Cowell during an X-Factor UK audition. From there, he went on to star in numerous stage productions in his pre-teens. Most notably, Mackenzie played the title role in West End’s Youth Theatre rendition of Billy Elliot. Through his work with Tony and Olivier Award winning director Stephen David Daldry, Mackenzie brought the role of Billy Elliot to life.
When he was 13-years old, his talent expanded beyond the theater and across “the pond” when Mackenzie was invited to share the stage with Jennifer Hudson, Josh Groban, Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds and other stars at the 2014 Carousel of Hope Ball in Los Angeles. David Foster directed.
In 2015, he also self-released his first single, “Never Letting You Go”. The precocious teen was involved in every aspect of recording from production to mixing. His vision began to resonate with listeners everywhere on his next song, “My Name” with a video featuring Kalani Hilliker, which became a viral hit. Impressively, the video has amassed over 6.7 million YouTube views and 427,000 streams on Spotify to date without any traditional promotion.
In 2016, on the heels of earning a Ubeat Music Award nod for “Act of the Year” he relocated to Los Angeles.
“I was just a kid with a dream,” says Mackenzie, “L.A. is where you go when you have that sort of dream. I started to see it more clearly. I wanted to make fun and energetic pop music that felt different from what was out there.”
Mackenzie effortlessly blends his professional theatrical and dance training to formulate his own sound of entrancing pop music. He kicked off 2017 with his first official label release “Laugh”, a light-hearted pop anthem with reggae-inspired beats. The infectious track was well-received by an ever-growing fan base and led Mackenzie to secure content deals with Awesomeness TV/Viacom and TikTok and a correspondent stint for Radio Disney. Last year, Mackenzie was a headlining act on the 2017 Boys of Summer U.S. tour and earlier this year was a featured act on the Bars & Melody Generation Z 2018 U.K. tour.
On his newest release, “Taken,” Mackenzie teams up with the Academy Award nominated, and Grammy-Award winning, songwriter and producer Diane Warren who penned the catchy song.
“When I heard Mackenzie I knew he would be the one to make ‘Taken’ a smash and I know I will be proven right” - Diane Warren
