Interview: Brian Mackey talks new song ‘Are You Listening’ (Includes interview)

Regarding his latest radio single “Are You Listening,” he said, “It was written about somebody that I lost in my family. It was a conversation that I had with them at night with them, and I basically spoke to them through the music.”

On his Top 20 hit on adult contemporary radio, he said, “It was a surprise to me to be honest with you. We’ve had some success in Germany with it, and it was amazing. Then, we started our radio campaign here in the United States and now we are at No. 18. We are very surprised and happy.”

His plans for the future will be quite busy. “We are going to be recording an album in the fall with a producer. I got signed to an indie label two months ago, and I will be getting a new record out, hopefully after the recording in the fall,” he said. “Then, we will be going back to Europe in January of next year.”

He listed Rachel Platten and Taylor Swift as his dream female duet choices. “There are just so many great performers out there,” he said.

Each day, Mackey is motivated by “getting commitments done,” and by people, family and friends. “I play every day and I try to write every day. I am motivated by everybody’s individual stories,” he said.
