The independent pop artist grew up in Denver, CO, and began performing at the age of 4 and started writing music shortly after. As a fan of many genres, Makena has experimented with multiple styles over the years and continues to expand her horizons. She balances heartfelt sentiment with an attitude that takes the listener through the roller coaster of emotions that go along with navigating life in the 21st century. With the release of her newest single “Class President,” she presents a radiant sound that will certainly captivate your attention. Beginning with bright instrumentation leading onto her sweet and smooth vocals she completes the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it depicts how Makena, formerly a high school class president with the perfect college resume, took the leap to drop out of college and move to LA to pursue a career in music. Now, she hustles for a dream while watching former classmates check all the boxes for the “perfect life” she would have been set up for – getting married, buying a house, having kids. In the lyrics of “Class President,” she reflects questioningly on her outside-the-norm choices. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you jamming out and possibly relating to the lyrics. It would be just great for a drive during sunset or hanging out with some friends.
