Embracing his influences such as PJ Morton, Stevie Wonder and Musiq Soulchild, Macklyn’s music is a blend of R&B/neo-soul and boom bap styled hip hop. His mission is to meet people where they are, so they would know they are loved, seen, heard, known, by God and made in His image. Macklyn released his first EP Until Tomorrow in 2020, followed by his debut album Life + Love in 2021. He has performed for famous west African painter Shiri Achu at the Republic Embassy of Cameroon in Washington D.C. and in rotation on radio stations in the U.S. and London England. He has been covered by publications such as the Roanoker, Shoutout Atlanta, and performed live on WFXR Fox news television in Roanoke, VA. Macklyn led the “We Are Art” campaign in Roanoke, VA as Creative Director, highlighting black voices in his community, a project praised by Mark Warner, Senator of Virginia.
