Jenny MacDonald


“MacDonald sounded like the proverbial ‘old soul in a young body’" (Stephen Cooke/The Chronicle Herald).
 
            Known as ‘the small girl with the big voice’, Jenny MacDonald is making her mark as a charismatic, audacious, and prolific songwriter and performer - skilled beyond her years. Working alongside high-profile musicians such as Grammy Award winning Gordie Sampson, Steve MacDougall (Slowcoaster), The Hupman Brothers, Ian Sherwood, and Carleton Stone, “MacDonald’s craft is developing in all the right ways.” (Stephen Cooke/The Chronicle Herald.
            Nominated for two Nova Scotia Music Awards, including 2011 Blues Album of the Year, and 2011 Digital Artist of the Year, MacDonald's fan-funded sophomore release, "Bye, Bye, Mr. Bluesman" weaves through stories of 'hellos', 'goodbyes', frustrations, and butterflies in a mix of blues and 20s-inspired swing.

                                                                                                    Cara Vs. Margeaux 2001

Welcome to my blog, The Artist MBA, Mastering Business and Art!

Let's face it, as artists it can be challenging finding ways to make a living doing what you love, but it is possible! Not only is it possible but you can also be successful doing what you love! If I had of listened to my self-limiting beliefs in art school or at any point in my younger years I would have never gotten to where I am today, and trust me, there were a lot of nay-sayers.

In my podcast I will be sharing with you ways to unravel old thought patterns and open yourself to a knew perspective that combines both business, art and success. Through my own personal story as well as through interviews with successful artists from many different genres, I will discuss different techniques in growing your practice and expanding your global reach as an artist.
