Tourist EP

Jo MacKenzie is an 18-year-old self-produced AAPI indie-pop artist, who creates

relatable tunes in her bedroom studio in Kansas. Her 5-song EP Tourist comes out Friday, March 11. The title track and lead single was featured on Live Nation’s Ones To Watch playlist and BMI’s official #MusicMonday playlist.

The new collection of songs features a slew of collaborators including Harper James (of the indie pop band Eighty Ninety) who helped sculpt some of the productions and mixes, and provides a fresh persepctive on familiar topics. “Afterparty” explores the internal struggles of teenagers on the outside of the high-school party scene, grappling with feelings of loneliness. “Kinda Wrong Kinda Right” is a love story about finding a balance between rebellion and safety.

“Strange Babies” explores teenage insecurity and shines a light on the softer, more vulnerable side of Jo Mackenzie. Connect with Jo @thejomackenzie on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.
