Music On Your Own Terms 150 - This Mad Desire - Operators Are Standing By

Joining me for this episode is Mackenzie Kristjón, a Hamilton, Ontario based musician that I met through Indie Week earlier this year, and contributed some background vocals to his upcoming album. We chat about This Mad Desire, Mac's musical project, his recording experience using free studio time through Hamilton public library, and singing in front of the children's section, in a glass room. Mac also shares a troubling story about being brutally assaulted, his love of collaboration with other musicians, and how he strives to help others in need.
