At the age of ten, Macy started taking lessons with John DeFoore—the former guitar teacher of Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves. Although Macy had been penning lyrics for as long as she could remember, it was John who first encouraged her to start performing her original songs live. "I started developing a strong passion for writing after I began working with John. I had always loved writing, but he taught me the art of writing songs that represented myself and told a genuine story from various perspectives," claims the Texas native. When Macy isn’t performing, she is passionately writing her way through life, hardships, and celebrations. She is finding her niche for songwriting and is co-writing with some of the best in Nashville. Authenticity and honesty are evident throughout her lyrics, and she strives to uphold these qualities while navigating her way through the industry.

Macy Dot currently attends Belmont University where she was accepted into the prestigious songwriting program. She is studying songwriting and music business in the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business.

Talented, passionate, and creative, she is already a high-energy trendsetter known for her authentic and relatable lyrics. Her work ethic, drive, and commitment are paving her way to a successful career in the music industry.
