New Active Supporter!

True Reflections is proud to announce we have a new active artist supporter!

Mackenzie Caradonna is a singer based out of Amherstburg, Ontario - her main message in her music is exactly what True Reflections is based off of - it's okay to be different.

Check out her bio below.

All about Me

My name is Mackenzie Caradonna and I was born with Cerebral Palsy. Throughout my life I’ve had to do things differently but I’ve always done them, even if it took me twice the time and the effort. From the age of four to eight I was in and out of the hospital because of low blood sugar and the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. They only know that I have a rare metabolic disorder. Those times were very hard for me and my family, but now at the age of 15 I know that every needle that went into my veins and every burst of pain made me stronger! My story is not a sad one. What you read just now, is what made me the person I AM today. One of my favourite quotes really sums it all up “Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain, but can’t have a rainbow without a little rain” ~ unknown

My Family

My parents are Laurie and Jason. They are the people who encourage me to be myself and inspired me to want to change the lives of others. As for my brother Lucas well, we don’t exactly get along because I’m the older one and he’ll find any way to get on my nerves but at the end of the day we know we love each other. Then there’s Rocky our black yorkie poo puppy! He is a very fun loving, energetic and happy puppy! We all love him to pieces and wouldn’t change a thing, so that is the Caradonna crew!

My Dream

On a happier note, sometime after I had gotten better, at the age of 10, I asked my parents if I could have a singing teacher because I LOVED TO SING but I wanted to learn how to sing properly. So my parents went searching and found a woman named Kerri and that’s when my dreams started to slowly, but surely come true! In all the years I have been with my singing teacher Kerri, she has taught me so much and brought me so far. Kerri helped me write my first original song called “Different” about me and my life. The song has a very powerful message about being different; that you don’t have to fit in, you just have to love who are and follow your dreams! Recently my teach Kerri and I made my first Youtube video, I chose to do a cover of Skinny Love by: Birdy. There is much more to my dream and journey of singing but so much is still unwritten.

True Reflections

True Reflections has a great message about expressing who you are and that being different is not only ok its awesome! True Reflections asked me to pick a word that describes me and just thinking about myself what I’ve been through and how far I’ve come, I think of the word DETERMINED! Being determined is one of the best things you can be because you never stop believing and you keep trying until you reach your goals!
