Musical artist
Stuart Douglas Mackenzie (born 26 October 1990) is an Australian musician best known as the lead vocalist of psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. Trademarked by his energetic live presence, he has been nominated for multiple awards and in particular won Live Guitarist of the Year at the National Live Music Awards of 2020.[1]
When performing, Mackenzie often sticks his tongue out, stands with a back-and-forth rocking motion, and displays feats of guitar showmanship, such as playing behind his head. In addition, his frequent shouts of "woo!" and "eeeyup!" both live and on recording have become a staple of the band's sound.[2]
