EXCLUSIVE: Interview With Brian Mackey

Brian Mackey is a NJ based singer/songwriter who has just released his new single ‘Underwater‘ and is about to embark on a tour with Ron Pope.

Here we speak exclusively to Brian exclusively about his new single, musical inspirations, new album, and much, much more;

Growing up who inspired your love of music?
The songs I heard on the radio.. Nirvana , Live and Pearl Jam Or anything that made me think like Jim Croce

Apart from performing/writing music what else do you enjoy doing?
I like to I fix stuff and remodel houses .. Old ones.. it’s cool seeing something forgotten about become appreciated again. New life another chance to shine

If you weren’t a singer what would you be?
Well as a child I wanted to be Psychiatrist.. Until I needed one then the Polish dulled in that and I wanted to be a songwriter .. but I’d say a pilot.

Where do you look to for inspiration when writing new songs?
Anywhere there is a human or human connection.. I can talk to someone after a show or at the supermarket and if a look about them or a story they tell me sparks something that’s all it takes..

If you could collaborate with anyone who would you choose?
I’d like to work with Birdy..

Can fans expect an album from you soon?
Yes in January.

Do you plan on touring anytime soon?
I’m actually in Sweden writing you from the hotel lobby. 10 EU and UK cites in 10 days
