Artist Biography

Introducing the striking 22 year old r&b singer Mandi. Mandi's voice is a fresh combination of today and yesterdays music's hottest influences. She has been described as a mixture of Sade and Mariah Carey, with the sophistication of Alicia Keys. Mandi is becoming an original, entertaining and memorable new pop R&B addition to today's mix. Music has always played a huge role in Mandis life. She started to sing around the same time she was learning to talk- and she hasn’t been able to keep quiet since. Like most singers, Mandi would sing along to everything and anything, making her voice stronger with every note. As early as age 5, Mandi knew singing was what she wanted to do. At age 21, Mandi got in touch with accomplished producer Michael Vail Blum, and went to L.A. to record a demo CD with him. Michael has discovered and/or worked with Madonna, Anastacia, Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson and the group 3T, and thinks Mandi has what it takes as well. Through Michael, Mandi is also working with famed keyboardist Herman Jackson, and guitar/bass whiz Dean Pleasants. Herman is currently Jessica Simpsons musical director, and has also worked with Whitney Houston, Outkast, Stevie Wonder, Babyface and Aretha Franklin. Dean currently plays guitar for Jessica Simpson for her live shows, and is in two other bands, Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves. Mandi has been traveling back and forth to L.A. ever since to work on new material for her upcoming album.
