Mandy Gale’s love of music and singing was always strong, even from a young age.

Her earliest recording is a performance of Linda Ronstadt’s "Blue Bayou" at 3 years old during one of the family talks sessions her parents recorded on a small home stereo. Her mother - a classically trained pianist - and father - a Kentucky native - had a large influence in her subconsciously developing musical taste and introduced Mandy to a variety of genres. Her love of music and writing, particularly poetry, began at age 15 and she developed a fascination with talented artists such as Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Nicks. 

After graduating from Cal State University Northridge with a BA in Journalism, her passion for songwriting reached maturity and in February 2006 she was nominated by the Southern California Music Awards for Best Blues with her original song, "Before You Got to Lovin Me" - an energetic blues-rock tune with reckless abandon and fiery ambition. She was also named Runner Up in the 2005 and 2007 VH1 Song of the Year Songwriting contest with "Highway Blues" - a pseudo-psychedelic blues rock ode to the dream of life on the road (watch video) - and her emotionally gripping duet, "This Little Girl" - a song about a girl's heartbreakingly distant but loving relationship with her father. In September 2007 she was a finalist in the top 4 for "One More Day" (watch video), and again in December 2007 for the folk ballad "At Home With Alone".

Her sound has been described as "sultry, truthful, and Americana gold," by some of the music industry’s top professionals and critics. Today her love of truth, humanity, freedom and natural beauty speak through her lyrics, music and poems. Her greatest joy and purpose is to unite others through her songs and stories. Ultimately, to express and appreciate life’s meaning through love, beauty and even hardship.
