MAY FEATURE: Mackenzie Leigh Meyer"What is integral to your work as an artist?
Genuine emotion. In some way or another, all my songs have been inspired by things that have moved me emotionally. Whether that's heartbreak, happiness, loneliness, etc. each song starts from a place of honesty and evolves into a narrative that reflects that emotion. Sometimes those plots are true to my life, sometimes they're not. But all of them originate from personal and emotional moments in my life."
