EP 262: Parisian Musician and florist Mackenzie Leighton

 Mackenzie Leighton is a musician and florist based in Paris since 2017. Originally from the United States, she grew up in a small seaside town in Maine where she studied classical piano at a young age. She moved to New York in 2014 and played in several folk, jazz, and indie-pop bands before moving to France to launch her solo career. With precise songwriting and soft electric guitar picking, her first EP released in late 2017 lulls us into a dreamy indie folk universe. After a solo tour in Italy in 2018 and playing notable Parisian stages, she released her second project "Tourist(e)" in 2020. Now accompanied by her French band, Mackenzie intimately reveals the reality of her expatriate life with modern songs that blend folk and pop, English and French, in "Fleuriste" released in June 2021. As Rolling Stone says, Mackenzie Leighton "should put some sunshine in your weekend."
