At just 20 years old, Mackenzie May has quickly established herself as one of Australia's most exciting emerging country artists. Hailing from regional Central Queensland, her music is deeply rooted in authentic storytelling, blending traditional country influences with modern honesty and heartfelt emotion.

​

Growing up surrounded by the classic country records of her grandparents, Mackenzie developed a love for songwriting that reflects real life, love, heartbreak, family and finding beauty in life's little moments.

​

Since releasing her debut single Little Things, Mackenzie has captured the attention of audiences across Australia. The track has amassed more than 500,000 streams, received national country radio airplay including ABC Country, iHeart Country and Kix Country, and debuted in the Countrytown Hot 50.

​

Her debut EP, All The Little Things, released in March 2026, debuted at #2 on the ARIA Australian Country Albums Chart, marking an incredible milestone early in her career. Produced alongside acclaimed producer Jared Adlam (James Johnston, Lee Kernaghan), the seven-track collection showcases Mackenzie's ability to tell stories with maturity far beyond her years.

​

The EP explores the highs and lows of life through songs about love, relationships, resilience and loss, concluding with the deeply personal Take Care Of Her For Me, a heartfelt tribute to her late grandmother and the woman who first inspired her love of country music.
