Biography

Early Career and School

Mandi Perkins was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. ^[1] Her ambitions inspired a move to California to pursue both a career in music and to attend UC Berkeley where she graduated with Honors with a degree 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.

Mandi toured the country and performed regularly at venues on the Sunset Strip such as The Roxy, The Viper Room, The Key Club and The Troubadour. She graduated, passed the California State Bar and completed her first independent full length album, bleeding the line …, in 2007. Songs from bleeding the line … have been featured on The Hills and The Real World on MTV and in Girlfriends on the CW. ^[2]

The release of Mandi's album garnered her industry attention, including that of Jeff Rosen, Bob Dylan’s longtime head of publishing. Jeff introduced her to executives at Sony Music who subsequently signed her to a record deal. Mandi immediately began work on her major label debut album, Alice In No Man’s Land.

Alice In No Man's Land

Alice In No Man’s Land saw a limited digital release on August 5, 2008. ^[3] All the lyrics on Alice In No Man’s Land were written by Mandi and the album was produced by Warren Huart and mixed by Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayer). Mandi recently signed to CAA and will be touring heavily in support of her album. ^[4] MSN Music featured her as their “One To Watch” artist for August and Yahoo Music named her one of their “Who’s Next” artists. ^[5] Mandi’s first U.S. single and video for “Why Pretend,” whose music was written by Ryan Tedder, will be released to radio and MTV in the first quarter of 2009. ^[6]
