We had the good fortune of connecting with Avzy Mack and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Avzy, what role has risk played in your life or career?
If I am not taking risks, it is in my Opinion, you can become stuck. Risks are what it is all about- especially in the music industry. I am always pushing myself to be uncomfortable. Risk-taking is an essential aspect of decision-making and career advancement for many individuals.You only live once!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What a great and deep question! Starting with what sets me apart- I think anyone who knows me and the feedback I hear most is about my unique voice, and my personal style-

I am still trying to get where I want to be professionally, I am 15 and still have so much to learn and grow from. As far as was it easy, hell no! Thank god for my support system- so many around me that are doing the same thing have it easy because they have parents that clearly have the funds to just make it happen for them- I am not one of those kids- it has required me to grind, work hard, and network.

I don’t take anything for granted, especially chances and opportunities no matter how small! They are all learning experiences-

I most want people to know I am an actually pretty shy as a person, a deep thinker, I really appreciate the process of what musicians go through to be heard. Being a songwriter in-itself comes easily to me but I am always overthinking my music. I am just kid trying to make it big 😉

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Dallas has so much to offer! Of course there are the trendy spots such as Deep Elm, Kyle Warren Park, the graffiti park and Bishop arts. I love a good trip to Dolly Python and some of my other favorite thrifts!

I enjoy getting the chance to get to any farmers market and love some good pop ups!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost my parents, my friends and family – they always have fostered a wonderfully supportive creative space for my music! They are always there cheering me on at live shows,and music that gets released etc!

My mentor Zetti Carnell, she has always allowed me to be myself and respects my vision but cares most about protecting me and in this industry.

Finally- my school! I have been attending performance arts school since the 5th grade and they push me to work hard, have fun and remember to live in the moment!
