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

Hi Macy, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
It makes me happy to create art that’s made with integrity and inspires the people who hear it.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m pursuing being an artist and songwriter. I’ve learned a lot about the things that matter, the things that don’t. I’ve watched people become really sad from it, or the pursuit of it rather. It’s taught me that it’s a discipline not to put one’s identity in it and that my relationship with music is too precious become a sad thing. In 2025 I plan to release my first album, it’s called ‘Pocket Change’ and it’s about the idea of coming to that realization.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First, I’d probably take them to Nomadic Outpost because it’s super close to where I live and dog friendly so I’d also bring my dog, Butter 🙂 Assuming it’s hot as hell (bc it normally is), we’re probably going to a body of water to kayak or paddle board and for lunch, maybe we’ll stop at Pool Burger or head to LaLa’s South Pole, the year round Christmas bar that also serves Brooklyn style pizza. I like to hang at home, though. I’ve really tried to make my space a calm and creative environment that people can feel comfortable coming to whenever.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to shoutout my dad! He’s always believed in my vision and spoken life into my music. There are so many highs and lows that come with pursuing art full-time so having him in my corner has always grounded me.
