Discovered: Mandy decided she wanted a music career after seeing the musical "Oklahoma!".
As a child, she performed the National Anthem at several athletic events around her hometown of Orlando, Florida, and became known as the "National Anthem girl".
At age 14, while she was recording in a studio in Orlando, a Fed-Ex worker who happened to be passing through heard her and was interested in her talent. He happened to know someone at Sony as well. Mandy worked on cutting a demo and shortly thereafter signed a record deal with Sony 550 Music. At 15, her first record "So Real" was released. Her first tour was with the Backstreet Boys.
As her touring and recording schedule demanded more of her time, Mandy withdrew from Bishop Moore Catholic High School in Orlando and opted for a tutor/correspondence.
Jumping into acting, Mandy snagged an MTV Movie Award in June 2002 for her first feature film role in A Walk to Remember (2002). She has since starred in several movies including Saved! and Romance & Cigarettes.
