Mackenzie Johnson is a YouTube musician from Pennsylvania. She is best known for her viral covers of pop songs such as Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud and Shallow from the film A Star Is Born. Born Jan. 26, 1993, Mackenzie began teaching herself to play the guitar at the age of 15. Seeing the potential in not only herself but in utilizing the internet to grow a platform for her music, she opened her YouTube channel in October 2010. At the start of 2016, Mackenzie was in contact with songwriter, publisher and music producer, Frank Rogers. After working together for a relatively short period of time, later that year she signed a record deal with Fluid Music Revolution, Frank’s joint venture with Spirit Music Nashville.

High-energy, emotionally charged rock ‘n’ roll with brilliant melodies seeping out of every pore, Dan Orlando’s music is immediately unforgettable. He is a pianist, a pop craftsman, captivating performer and a singer/songwriter for whom music is more than the universal language: It’s the only language.

Blessed with perfect pitch and a multi-octave vocal range, Dan has been performing as a professional musician for nearly half of his life. A catalog of more than 150 original songs and outstanding renditions of past and present hits are what define Dan’s versatility. As a five-piece band, the legendary Lords of 52nd Street, or solo, his unique blend of pop, rock, R&B and balladry is connecting with fans of every genre, from every generation.
