Biography

Adopted while a baby by a pastor and his wife, Mindy grew up in Long Island, New York. While there, she developed a passion for music and started to sing when she was at a very young age. In 1991, her mother lost her battle to cancer, prompting she and her father to move down to Knoxville, Tennessee. When 1994 came along, she also lost her father to cancer; shortly afterwards, she pursued her lifelong dream of singing.

Mindy rose to fame in 2003 when she was the first artist signed to contribute to the Dolly Parton tribute album Just Because I'm a Woman. Mindy covered Dolly's famous song, Jolene, which later became a huge success for Mindy. "Come To Jesus" was Mindy's second single and proved to be her biggest hit to date. The song received a good deal of airplay on country, christian, AAA rock and adult contemporary radio. The song charted at #32 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart. "One Moment More" was the album's final single. In October of 2006, Mindy's sophmore album, "Long Island Shores" became yet another roaring success.
