After success in writing for independent films for companies such as PSG films and Gorilla Shoes Productions, Brock returned to the stage in 2008 with his guitar.

In March of 2009, Brock MacKenzie released "Brush Fire" on the 6th Sense Creations label. Brush Fire is a fresh perspective for the rock guitar instrumental genre. It has elements of virtuoso performances that are similar to classic CDs from Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. However, Brock employs some hip-hop grooves and elements that make Brush Fire a fresh stand out among other efforts in this genre.

Brush Fire is available at CD Baby, iTunes, amazon.mp3, and www.6thsensecreations.com
