Mandi Leigh, born in Fullerton, CA is no stranger to the music industry. Mandi discovered early in her life that she wanted to do nothing more than sing and perform. Since the young age of five, Leigh has been hard at work on her rise to to success.
Fast forward to 2010 and she’s come a long way. Miss Leigh, a published poet since the age of eight pens her own music, having now completed writing her first debut label album, BLVD., set to release Summer 2010. The album is a "story I wanted to tell that shows all sides of who I am. The girl who loves to have fun, get out there and dance, the girl who's living her dream and the girl, who at the end of the day just wants to find love and close the door to my day and just be me, in the quiet." Leigh says.
Her single "Hotter Than Fire" ft. NVE labelmate Vernac will premier June 2010 worldwide.
Mandi has shared the stage touring with stars such as Nina Sky, Ryan Cabrera, Jesse McCartney, Dream, Otown & more. She also toured overseas in the Caribbean and South America in 2007 as a headliner through Barry Manilow's Stiletto Entertainment.
In addition to her touring accomplishements Mandi has also performed on many film soundtracks and tribute projects. Including having her iTunes hit “No Longer In Love” on the Warner Bros. film soundtrack for "The Utopian Society" starring Malin Akerman. Also a special project was Mandi's penned tribute song, “Shadow Dancer", written in honor of Michael Jackson from the compilation project “In Search Of Neverland” through SoundSpin Productions.
“I’ve recorded a lot of music through the years, mixing a lot of different genres and I am very comfortable with where I’ve found my home. Music is my passion, it’s my heart, and when my words and melodies connect to those who hear it, I’ve found my place.” Leigh says. “My goal for 2009 was just to continue performing and hopefully find a home with a label. I've accomplished that and my goal this year is to get the album to as many ears as possible and share my passion. I’d also like to do a sitcom or drama series in the next couple of years.”
2008 marked the year of Mandi’s acting career taking the path she’s been seeking having co-starred in the romantic comedy “References” as well as it marking her third major soundtrack feature as a musician. Her past film and television credits include Beerfest, Fat Albert, Maneater, Clubhouse, Homeland and many commerical credits including Victoria Secret and ESPN.
Though a true entertainer, Mandi’s focus and heart lie on how she can give back for the blessings she’s received. Since her professional career in San Diego started in 2001 she signed up with Kids With A Cause and continued on the path of working with and performing for many children’s charities including many benefit concerts and auctions for Make A Wish Foundation. The 2009 Halloween season marks Mandi Leigh’s second year as celebrity host of “Phantom Manor”, a haunted house experience for charity, this year benefitting Arizona’s Habitat For Humanity Projects for 2010 which Mandi Leigh will assist in building. Her ultimate goal is to open her own Nerve Pain Research Foundation in honor of her mother.
Mandi is also a trained dancer, published writer & model in the industry, most recently being one of the faces of Forever 21’s Fall Line. Chopper Couture has also named one of their Spring 2010 Collections “Mandi” after Leigh and her musical accomplishments after she was seen wearing items from their line at the famed Viper Room. Misconstrued Boutique out of Arizona also recently named one of their pieces the "Miss Mandi" after it selling out when Leigh wore it at a show in L.A. - Leigh is truly a jack of all trades fueled by determination, talent and a heart for what’s she most passionate about. The music.
