What was your first contact with music and how has it evolved to this point?

My mother used to play the piano when I was young. I began taking lessons on the piano when I was 7 years old, then eventually began to play the flute as well. Finally I taught myself to play the guitar when I was in high school. The guitar continues to be my main instrument (besides my voice).

Interviewer: What can we find in this eponymous album? What does it sound like? Present it a bit to us.

Mackenzie Scott: There are lots of sounds: guitars, bass, cello, violin, synthesizers, drums, and more. It’s a bit experimental, but still cohesive, I think.

“I knew that I didn’t want to put any instrument on any song if it wasn’t absolutely crucial to it. That being said, we experimented within those boundaries.”
