TESTIMONIALS

“MAC has been so vital in helping me grow and mature as an artist. MAC has helped me to gain more exposure through their monthly Open Mic nights a n d e ve nt s . Th e y h ave helped me to appear on TV with Rogers Television and have helped organize and promote my many other events. MAC has helped m e b u i l d c o n n e c t i o n s with other ar tists in my local community and have helped me network with like

minded individuals who have similar goals as musicians. I think that the benefits of being a member are tremendous for anyone looking to expand their artistic flare. Being an active member of MAC has shaped me into being a more positive and locally involved artist. I can’t thank them enough! Join MAC if you have not already!”

“MAC has been extremely helpful and benefic ial in helping me grow as an artist. It has given me opportunities to sing at different places and become a better performer....It has helped me in terms of my music and everything.”
