Bella Mackenzie Rides High In The Saddle
Rockhampton singer-songwriter and Voice TV show star Bella Mackenzie returns to our show with some of her favourite equines.
Bella, now 21, was raised on her family farm wrangling horses, cows and trucks.
It was natural she gathered some of her favourite equines on her Cowboy video from her debut album Wild Thing on Island Records.
“Cowboy was written to make the listener feel strong, proud and empowered. I knew I wanted to write a song that would not only pump up a festival crowd but also pump up that person sitting in their car listening”, Bella revealed.
Her video directed by Maddy King was filmed at Bella’s family farm in Rockhampton.
She wrote Cowboy with Mitchell Fenlon, Tamworth songwriter/producer Penrose and ARIA nominee Ryan Miller.
Bella teamed with LECADE on her previous Nu Country Wasted video.
It followed recent singles 1, 2, 3 You & Me, Ain’t For You, Make Me Wanna Love and Miss You No More.
Bella joined American singer Riley Green on stage at a recent Riding Hearts festival at the Caribbean Gardens at Scoresby.
