She is a little girl with no fear, an unbelievable talent, and huge dreams so she has a pretty unstoppable future.

She will be releasing her second cd "The Music In Me", an acoustic collection, June 16th 2012. This cd is 100% Makayla. It consists of 8 of her favourite songs she has written over the past year.

Of all the songs she wrote on her debut cd, the one that is most well known is called "The Joke's On You". It is being played as part of the curriculum in schools as far away as Australia and Japan. The outpouring of support for this song has been unbelievable. She has been featured on more than a dozen news stations from one end of Canada to the other. She has had articles written about her in papers all around the world.
