Beth McKenzie is a name that you should keep an eye on in the music industry. This newcomer is soaring into 2023 with her empowering new single ‘You Were the One’. This song is about having the strength to set the record straight and standing up for yourself. It is no surprise that her music has garnered over 7 million views on TikTok in just one month. Many viewers are falling in love with not only her music but her ‘take no s***’ attitude. Beth is an LGBTQ+ artist who started her journey as a classical musician. She began training in the flute at the young age of 7 and was performing at every opportunity. She even had the opportunity to perform with the brilliant Halle Orchestra at age 12. However, her life took a turn when she fell chronically ill at the age of 15. This forced her to sideline both music and her education to fight for her life. Now, aged 20, Beth still struggles day to day with her illness. But, she never lets this get in the way of her career. Beth’s songwriting is both clever and complex, yet never alienates her listeners. In fact, she has garnered attention from media giant Amazon last year for her impeccable songwriting abilities. When asked about her relationship with music, Beth said, ‘For me, music is the only thing that can truly capture an emotion or a thought. Songwriting has absolutely no limits, so I find that I’m able to explore my innermost feelings, even the ugly ones, through the process of creating something unique!’ Her newest single “You Were the One” is a testament to her songwriting skills. This song was written about the breakdown of a relationship. When one person wants to blame the other in entirety, the latter stands up and speaks the truth. This song empowers listeners to speak up for themselves and not let anyone else control their narrative. Beth McKenzie is not just a talented artist, but she is also an inspiration to many. She is using her platform to spread a message of empowerment and inclusivity. Her music is making a difference in the lives of many young people who feel more confident, more understood, and less alone because of her. We can’t wait to see what she has in store for us in the future.
