"New Power Generation are not a tribute band, they have a far higher pedigree … To see them play their celebration of their friend’s music is more of a spiritual experience."

- After touring with several different guest vocalists during their first year out, the band stumbled upon its official lead singer in the soulful and charismatic MacKenzie – an L.A.-based singer, originally from a small town in Virginia.
- With his incredible vocal range, commanding stage presence and beautiful voice, MacKenzie has wowed both audiences and critics alike. Even more important, the “Prince fams” (as Prince called them) quickly embraced him.
- The reunion of former members of the New Power Generation (NPG)— including a number of those in the original configuration—was born out of the official Prince Tribute concert in October 2016. The band has since joined forces with other Prince alumni and world class artists to perform their own tribute concerts to their legendary mentor and brother, Prince.
- “Welcome to the New Power Generation,” announced Prince in “Eye No,” the opening song on his 1988 album Lovesexy. Two years later, the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack contained “New Power Generation” with a group of the same name credited as background vocalists. The New Power Generation was featured on Prince’s Diamonds and Pearls (1991) and The Love Symbol Album (1992).
