Singer, Songwriter, Producer

Latest Projects

20-year-old Jo MacKenzie first discovered her love for music when her dad played Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock” in her childhood home in the suburbs of Kansas. Immediately inspired, she began writing music at age 7. Quickly enamored by production, she began teaching herself how to produce at age 11. Her indie-pop sound has morphed over the years, but she’s always been inspired by Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Lorde. Her music has been featured on Hulu, The CW, and an Amazon-charting podcast. MacKenzie’s self-produced newest single, “So Much More,” unabashedly celebrates the joy of young love and the universal feeling of wanting “so much more” than just friends.

The Frenzy About Jo MacKenzie

  • "Once in a while we stumble across something from our inbox that stalls our purge-like behavior...and puts our tired ears on notice. Jo MacKenzie, has done that not once but twice, first with her work in Baby and the Brain and now again with her latest EP [Tourist]."

  • "[Jo MacKenzie is] a musician for which we’re always excited when there’s new music on the horizon."

  • "[BrainBaby is] a gem of sound...that feels as special as receiving a handwritten letter from a dear friend."
