	Her first single, "Messed Up Heart", was produced by [[Jason Heerah]] (Electric Empire) and Dorian West (''[[The X Factor\|X Factor]]'', ''[[Australia's Got Talent]]'') – and helped make Mackay the No. 1 artist in Melbourne and No. 7 in Australia on the ReverbNation R&B/Soul charts. It was followed by her highly anticipated debut EP, "Audience of One", which was written and produced by Mackay herself. In a departure from the sounds that often dominate Christian music, the EP is a collection of songs that defies classification but defines 'soul' – seamlessly integrating elements of jazz and gospel, with lyrics that are both confronting and uplifting. It was inspired by the death of her daughter, the birth of her son, and the journey between these two life-changing events.
