Queer Pop Stars: Jayden McKenzie

Superficial Spirit – Episode: Jayden MacKenzie

In this episode, I’m joined by rising pop powerhouse Jayden McKenzie — a Vancouver-based artist making waves with cinematic vocals, big queer energy, and unapologetically bold aesthetics. We talk about how he found his sound, what it’s like navigating the music industry as an independent artist, and how pop can be both a sanctuary and a battleground.

From heartbreak anthems to dancefloor catharsis, Jayden opens up about the power of performance, queer identity, and why making music is his ultimate form of self-expression.
