MacKenzie TurnerLynnwood, WAProfessional Vocalist
I was born to two musicians, one of which has a whole career as an elementary music teacher and professional gigging bassist. I have been singing my whole life, but I’ve also been playing instruments like cello, guitar, piano, and bass since I was a young teen. At age 16 I decided to shift my focus to my voice as my main instrument and really decided to start getting serious about it, joining 3 different choirs at my
high school (concert, treble, and jazz). Once I graduated, I moved onto Edmonds College where one of the best collegiate vocal jazz choirs in the nation, ‘Soundsation’, resides, and was a member of that group for 4 years. Last summer I received my AA in Music from Edmonds College and this fall I plan to continue at university with the goal of getting my Masters degree in Music Education with hopes of being a middle, high school, or even college choral director.
