Lynn freshman – live at The Dubliner tomorrow
Lynn freshman and communication major – Makayla Duvall (a name that certainly has a pop star ring to it) – will be taking the stage at Mizner Park’s The Dubliner tomorrow night, Sept. 30 at 9:30 p.m. The aspiring singer / songwriter will be performing her debut single “Moving On” – listen to it now on her MySpace page – and other pop-rock cover songs by Colbie Caillat, Jason Mraz, Maroone 5, Taylor Swift and Kings of Leon.
A 2009 graduate of Boca Raton High School, Makayla has already been in the spotlight with an appearance on So You Want to be a Pop Star?. And like many aspiring artists today, she’s also tried American Idol. Makayla auditioned for Season 8 of American Idol in Jacksonville, Fla. last year. Singing “I’m Going Down” by Mary J. Blige, Makayla was in the top 50 out of 15,000 people who auditioned.
“I didn’t see Paula, Randy and Simon,” said Makayla. “I auditioned for the executive producers who said I had a great voice, good stage presence and a good look, but I wasn’t unique enough for the show.”
In case you can’t make it to The Dubliner tomorrow, Makayla will be performing at other local venues like Hurricanes in Delray Beach and the Wishing Well in Boca Raton in the coming months.
