“RONA MAC CAN ONLY EVER BE HERSELF.

HER MUSIC [IS] SHOT THROUGH WITH EXPERIENCE, HUMOUR, AND A SENSE OF SURVIVAL"

CLASH MAGAZINE

"Rona mac’s haunting vocals on radio 1 with Pennies, written recorded and produced herself in west Wales…mind mellowing stuff and you can just hear how her surroundings have influenced her"

BBC RADIO 1

“Written, produced, mixed and mastered by an outstanding artist in her caravan... meet Rona Mac...”

BBC RADIO 6

Rona Mac is an established artist from West Wales, crafting music that sits comfortably in the realms of alternative folk, with nods to indie-pop and classic singer-songwriter. Rooted in a deeply DIY ethos, she has built her sound from the ground up—writing, recording, and producing her music in a weathered caravan on the most westerly tip of mainland Wales.

Having gigged in various forms for most of her life, Rona stepped into the world of independent artistry with a fierce commitment to making music on her own terms. Learning to manage every part of the process, from songwriting to booking, mixing to publishing, she has carved out a path that is entirely her own. Her music is sentimentally charged and lyrically driven, with guitar and vocals carrying equal weight. Comparisons have been drawn to Adrienne Lenker, Phoebe Bridgers, Joni Mitchell, Ben Howard, and boygenius—an association she finds both surreal and humbling.

Rona’s second album release in 2024 saw her take on a self-booked 20-date tour across the UK and Europe, bringing her intimate yet expansive sound to audiences far and wide. Her music has received A-list rotation and Album of the Year recognition from BBC Radio Wales, with additional airplay on BBC Radio 1 and 6. Features in Wonderland, Clash, and Atwood Magazine have further cemented her reputation as a distinctive voice in the contemporary folk scene.

On stage, Rona uses live looping, synths, and additional instrumentation to add texture while keeping the music centered around the song. It’s a performance style that feels deeply human. She has shared stages with the likes of Willy Mason, Billie Marten, Bess Atwell, and Katy J Pearson, always bringing an understated presence that lets the songs speak for themselves.

Supported by funding from PRS Women Make Music, Help Musicians, and other grants, Rona continues to push her music forward while staying true to her grassroots approach. With new collaborations and another LP on the horizon, her journey remains one of steady growth, graft, and the pursuit of something honest.

Huge thanks to PRS Foundation's Open Fund and Women Make Music fund, Help Musicians and Horizons Launchpad Fund FOR supporting the creation, release and touring of MY MOST RECENT ALBUM HONEYMILK AND HEAVY WEATHER

THERE ARE MANY WAYS YOU CAN KEEP UP TO DATE WITH GIGS, RELEASES AND GENERAL GOING'S ON AT RONA MAC HQ. 
FIRSTLY, THERE'S SOCIAL MEDIA. DUE TO THE MONEY GRABBING NATURE OF PEOPLE AT THE TOP, INSTAGRAM NOW ONLY SHOWS CONTENT TO AROUND 10% OF YOUR FOLLOWING, AND REQUIRES CREATORS TO PAY IF THEY WANT MORE OF THEIR FOLLOWERS TO SEE THEIR POSTS. THIS HAS MADE IT A PRETTY UNRELIABLE WAY OF GETTING INFORMATION OUT TO PEOPLE. HOWEVER, I STILL USE IT, IT'S FUN, AND YOU CAN FIND LOADS OF VIDEOS AND STUFF ON THERE:

  • Bandcamp
  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • Soundcloud
  • Spotify
  • TikTok
  • Apple Music
  • Twitter
  • Youtube

A MAILING LIST IS A MUCH BETTER WAY (IN MY OPINION, HAHA) OR STAYING IN CONTROL OF WHAT INFORMATION YOU WANT TO SEE. I FEEL LIKE IT'S STICKING A FINGER UP TO THE ALGORITHM. SO IF YOU WANNA GET OCCASIONAL UPDATES AND KNOW THAT YOU AREN'T SELLING YOUR SOUL TO THE TECH DEVILS, GET YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IN THAT BOX BELOW:

Thanks for submitting!

AND FINALLY, THE ULTIMATE WAY OF SUPPORTING ME IS BY SIGNING UP TO MY PATREON. IT'S FULL OF BEHIND THE SCENES CONTENT, LIVESTREAMS, UNRELEASED DEMO'S, POETRY AND RAMBLES.
