Mandi Perkins is an intensely passionate singer/songwriter who creates uncompromising melodic rock. Energetic and charismatic, she writes about her life and those around her in a musical form of empathy, which makes listeners think, care 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....What resulted from all the hard work and determination is "bleeding the line..." which had a limited digital release (through De Novo Music Group & INgrooves) on August 14, 2007.  “bleeding the line….” is melodically dark and rich and it’s a debut unlike any other because it is undisputedly a major label quality album made without the major label.  The album was produced by Warren Huart (The Fray, Howie Day and Anna Nalick) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac and My Chemical Romance). The album also features a top notch group of musicians that leant their services: Dan Rothchild (Fiona Apple, Beck) on bass; David Levita (Alanis Morissette, Jewel) on guitar; Travis McNabb, drummer for Better then Ezra; and Jay Clifford from Jump Little Children on piano.
