When it comes to fresh new talent, the country music scene is where it’s at, especially with new comer Heather Mackey.
While most girls her age are trying to figure out who they want to be, at 19, Heather’s got her arms wide open to the future and is already making a name for herself in the country music world. Heather recently spent some time in Nashville recording in the famous Sound Kitchen.
Like many singers before her, Heather got her start singing in church as a child and followed her passion in music through school as an active member of the drama and music programs. When asked about her very first performance, Heather says ‘I sang for my church congregation when I was about nine or ten. I don’t remember what I sang, but I do remember dropping the microphone in front of everyone before I started singing because I couldn’t get it off the mic stand!” She’s definitely come a long way.
