“Five Minutes With” Toronto Alt-Pop Musician Maccie

Maccie, [pron., Mae-cee], is an alt pop singer/songwriter and creator. Her music is best described as Primal, electric and aroused. Maccie is unapologetically wild. Now extending her artistic focus to include circus arts, her future performances and visuals have promising potential.

Live Show Ritual:

I always try to be show ready early so that I can stay out front a bit and support my fellow artists. Closer to show time, I panic wildly in the washroom… Once I step onto a stage, all of my stage fright vanishes and I’m explosive. I live for those moments.

Favourite local artist:

Chris Godfrey

Sneaky Dees nachos, pasta from Terroni or a superfood salad from Fresh?

Ouuuffffffffff! I love all of those! Terroni pasta. I am a pasta fiend!

Queen or College St?

Queen Street

Trinity Bellwoods or High Park, Riverdale or Kew Gardens?

Highpark. Love the animals and the biodiversity.

EP or LP?

EP for now. I want my supporters to continue getting to know me before we take that next step.

Early bird or night owl?

Both. It just depends on which one comes first! I love mornings, and nights are divine. I can’t get enough of either!

Road or studio?

Studio. I train circus arts so being home allows me to record often, while keeping up a strict training regimen.

Swiss Chalet or Roti?

Roti everytime!

Any shows or albums coming up?

I’m releasing a clean version of, “Dungeon” on December 9th, but will also be releasing a short film called, “Trauma,” early in the new year. Other than that, I am currently building a silks routine with my amazing coaches at, Toronto’s Flying Arts Collective and will be showcasing it in February. This routine will be performed to one of my own original songs.
