Moses Mackay and his awesomeness
In this episode Cam talks with musical artist, Baritone and Sol3 Mio member Moses Mackay.
"Have passion but stay Curious"
I first came across the awesomeness of Moses Mackay when I was acting as an M.C for the North Harbour Club. Their annual AIMES Awards celebrate young people from the North Harbour region of New Zealand who pursue and achieve excellence. Moses was a recipient of an award that night and Sol3 Mio were already a global sensation.
Packing more into his early years than many manage in a lifetime, Moses Mackay is a humble phenomenon. A promising sportsman who represented the Rosmini College 1st XV, and also North Harbour in Rugby, Athletics and Lawn Bowls, his dreams of wearing the Silver Fern were eventually cut short by injury. Sport's loss was the music world's gain, as Moses focussed his attention there, developing his impressive baritone, while studying and building on the foundations of a very music minded family. Working his way through the NZ Youth Choir, his acceptance into the NZ Opera Chorus in 2009 didn't give him the most auspicious debut. "My first opera was Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in which I had the very prominent role of moving a chair... reluctantly with the help of David, a fellow chorus member."
Moses is part of Sole Mio, NZ's opera phenomenon whose debut album spent an incredible 16 weeks at #1 and 8x Platinum status, with their second album x3 times platinum. Finding venues big enough to contain a constantly growing audience, and their completely natural, infectiously upbeat presence gets harder with each concert - 2015 saw them playing to over 40,000 Kiwis with every single show a surefire, fun- filled, sellout. They have been awarded the Pacific Music Album Tui Award twice and Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards Album Of The Year, Best Group and Highest selling NZ album, three years running.
In this episode we speak about: Giving back to make a positive difference in the world and to another. Giving things ago to find your awesomeness... your strong place in the world. Following curiosity to work out what you love doing . Communication... real authentic communication and why that's SOOO... important. Miracles . The power of a dream. The power of creating and... embracing opportunity.
Moses came into this interview in the middle of a huge schedule after a night of recording and helping another. Yet, he turned up with so much energy, so many gems
In fact when I created a series of highlights for this interview there was... nothing else left.
This ones full of gold so dream big, achieve more and enjoy the awesomeness!
