ABOUT MACKENZIE PORTER:
MacKenzie Porter is a rising Country talent whose sound knows no borders. Signed to Big Loud Records, she is surging now with Dustin Lynch collaboration “Thinking ‘Bout You” at Country radio, plus latest releases "Coming Soon To A Bar Near You," “Pickup,” “Unlonely Me,” and “Heaven Heard Me.” The new music follows DRINKIN’ SONGS: THE COLLECTION – an arsenal of two years’ worth of music produced by Joey Moi. Since moving to Nashville in 2014 from her native Canada, she’s developed a radiant Country style which threads the needle between traditional heart and modern energy, often collaborating with songwriting mainstays like Nicolle Galyon, Craig Wiseman, Natalie Hemby, and Tommy English. Her "mesmerizing vocals and hook-driven songs" (Billboard) have sparked a list of headline-worthy accolades, including Porter’s four 2021 CCMA Awards nominations - Entertainer of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, PRS Guitars Video of the Year (“Drinkin’ Songs”), Fans’ Choice – plus a 2021 JUNO Awards nomination for Country Album of the Year. Making her mark, Porter became the first female artist to have three back-to-back #1 singles at Canadian Country radio in 22 years with “About You,” “These Days” and “Seeing Other People” in early 2020, following Shania Twain in 1998. Porter also earned her first crossover Top 10 at Canadian Pop radio – a first since 2003 for a Canadian Country artist – with "These Days (Remix)," and joined CMT’s elite Next Women of Country class of 2021. The Pandora 2021 Country Artist to Watch is currently on Jordan Davis’ BUY DIRT TOUR and will join Walker Hayes’ FANCY LIKE TOUR in 2022. She has previously shared the stage with Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Chris Lane, Blake Shelton, Dallas Smith, and co-starred in the Netflix series, Travelers.
