McKenzie Comer isnt your typical teenage girl. The young singer is just 15 but doesnt spend her spare time hanging out at the mall with friends like youd expect a normal teen to be doing. She
spends her time singing to sick children in hospital, writing songs, recording music and has toured America twice singing. She sings at a number of fundraising events for different charities throughout the Gold Coast.
McKenzie began her recent visit to the Radio Lollipop Studio by singing a beautiful cover of Safe and Sound – the theme song from the new film The Hunger Games. The younger kids painted with their parents as they listened. The older kids and their parents were in awe as the young singer hit every note perfectly and filled the studio with lovely sounds. Her second song You Do That To Me was one she wrote herself and has just been produced into a professional video clip filmed in just one day in Byron Bay. The third song Butterfly Fly Away by Miley Cyrus was even more beautiful as she dedicated it to a young boy on the ward, Brook. He seemed quite shy at the beginning but soon realised there was nothing to be afraid of and started singing along even though hed never heard the song before. It was a very special moment to watch. He was all smiles as McKenzie presented him with a RACQ Careflight Teddy Bear donated to Radio Lollipop.
McKenzie has been singing at Radio Lollipop for the kids for three years now and has helped out at many Radio Lollipop Events and on our annual Lollipop Day. The mature young girl realises what a difference she can make in the world by sharing her beautiful voice and using it to help others.
She is not only involved with Radio Lollipop but also volunteers her time and voice with Dreamworkers, which helps raise money for individuals and charities on the Gold Coast as well as Canteen, an organisation that helps people living with cancer.
The caring young McKenzie has achieved a lot in her 15 years and were looking forward to her bringing even more smiles to the children and community of Gold Coast and beyond.
