Following the performance, he was approached by the X-Dance film festival founders, saying they would love to have him back next year to perform again. “While I was there I also got to meet RZA from the Wu Tang Clan – he’s one of American's most renowned hip hop artists and has been one of my musical inspirations for many years.”
He also spent much of the year in the studio and writing, working with producers such as Jamie Holt from Sydney rock band The Camels, Tony Wall (Kanye West, Kiss, Olivia Newton Johns, Jimmy Barns).
Kid Mac has been confirmed as the opening act for Mickey Avalon on his Australian tour. The Hollywood heavyweight is best know for his smash hits 'The Jane Fonda', 'Mr Right' and many more.
Kid Mac’s NEW single ‘Showtime’ (digitally available February 21st) is an infectious tune, with Taj Burrows World Champion Surfer making a Guest appearance in the 'Showtime' video! Kid Mac has co-produced 2 tracks with RZA at Sydney's Studio 301 and has plans of working together again in the near future!

Kid Mac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waves shaking hands with sand
White beaches, board shorts
This is livin' man
Let the sun sizzle our backs
As we paddle out the back
Surrounded by good company
The sea sets us free
This is my space
No need to log in what we've got
Is mellow mind states
Forever dancing on the wave
Acrobatic board display
Offshore breeze warm degrees
The perfect day
We're gonna ride this out
Til the sun comes down
For the freedom, freedom
Ride this out
Til the sun comes down
For the freedom, freedom
The tide is comin'
That's when the session ends
Crew all chill up 'barbie hill'
This is livin' man
Braggin' about that left you got
That no one saw or just forgot
Sound of sea is the soundtrack theme
Livin' the dream
Wastin' time, corona and lime
Sun sets behind
The back drop of the perfect picture
Mother nature will kissed ya
Forever we will live this way
Embrace the ocean spray
We are blessed, picturesque
The perfect day
We're gonna ride this out
Til the sun comes down
For the freedom, freedom
Ride this out
Til the sun comes down
For the freedom, freedom
We will ride
And forever be free
We just wanna live free
We will ride
And forever be free
We just wanna live free
We're gonna ride this out
Til the sun comes down
For the freedom, freedom
Ride this out
Til the sun comes down
For the freedom, freedom.
The lyrics to Kid Mac’s song "Freedom" describe the feeling of freedom and escape that comes from surfing and being in the ocean. The first verse describes the physical setting of white beaches, board shorts, and warm sun sizzling on their backs as they paddle out to catch waves with good company. It’s a momentary escape from the “rat race” where they can just enjoy their “mellow mind states” and dance on the waves with acrobatic board display. The chorus emphasizes the idea that they will ride this feeling out until the sun comes down, reveling in the freedom that surfing brings.
The second verse adds to the story by talking about how the session ends when the tide comes in and everyone chills out together. They share stories and brag about their best waves, surrounded by the sound of the sea and soaking up the sun as it sets behind the perfect picture of the ocean. The bridge repeats the idea that they will forever live free and ride the waves, just enjoying the feeling of being alive and blessed to be in such a picturesque setting.
Overall, the lyrics of this song convey a sense of joy and freedom that comes from being in nature and pursuing a passion. It’s a celebration of the simple things in life and the power of just living in the moment and enjoying what’s around you.

Greatest song ever to describe Summer and being surrounded by the people that care for you. It's a masterpiece.
@ChattGM
Thank you Slide for making me love this song and love the series. Wish there was a S2. Glad TeenNick showed it during Summer 2012. Made the month of August truly something. Got to watch a series I grew to like and got a song to have on repeat to end off the summer. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
