"Mandi Perkins is the new frontier when it comes to females that rock; she’s unfiltered, unedited, and is a “true” artist - Her lyrics are 100% her life and I’m excited for the rest of the world to hear what I know will be one of the best new rock acts in years.” - Ryan Tedder (One Republic)
"Mandi Perkins is undoubtedly one of the freshest, most prolific songwriters to hit the U.S from our North American neighbor. Consistently delighting audiences with her enthusiastic performances, her "take no prisoners" attitude, and her contagious melodic rock, Perkins is set for fame." -- BMI
Sony BMG recording artist Mandi Perkins is an intensely passionate and charismatic singer/songwriter who creates uncompromising melodic rock. She writes about her life and those around her in a musical form of empathy, which makes listeners, care, think and question.
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Mandi began writing and performing when she was very young and her childhood included musical theatre, vocal competitions and writing every chance she could. Her ambitions inspired a move to California to pursue both a career in music and to attend UC Berkeley where she graduated with Honors in English Literature. Immediately following graduation, Mandi made a move to Los Angeles in order to pursue a career in music while simultaneously attending law school. She recently graduated, passed the California State Bar (albeit playing a gig a few weeks before!) and completed her first independent album, “bleeding the line …,” with help from some of the biggest names in the music industry.
“bleeding the line …,” a 12 track album written by Mandi was released digitally in August 2007. The release of Mandi's album garnered her a lot of industry attention. She has toured the country and her music has been featured on MTV's Laguna Beach, The Hills and The Real World and she has gained many fans along the way including Jeff Rosen, Bob Dylan’s longtime head of publishing. Jeff, drawn by Mandi’s song lyrics and charismatic personality, introduced her to executives at Sony BMG who subsequently signed her to a record deal. Mandi immediately began work on her major label debut album, “Alice In No Man’s Land.”
When discussing the album, Mandi states that, “Each song stems from my own personal experiences, the lives of the people closest to me and those I meet along the way. I write songs from my stomach and will take an event that has happened to me immediately following its conclusion and I will stretch it out until it’s at the rawest form. Once I have the emotion explode on paper, I am much more at ease. Songwriting is cathartic for me. I think it’s great to passionately feel, but there is a point when you should make sure you have an outlet, especially when the excess baggage takes control of your life. Hopefully listening to my music will be cathartic for other people.”
Mandi Perkins‘ major label debut album "Alice In No Man's Land" comes out on August 5, 2008 on Sony BMG's Victor Records.
