Amanda Nicole Ventrice (born September 12, 1985), better known by her stage name Mandy Ventrice, is an American recording artist,[1] songwriter, and vocal producer.
Born in Pittsburg, California and raised in both the Bay Area and Ventura County, Mandy Ventrice began her music career at a very early age; writing her first song at the age of seven, and completing her first CD independently by the age of thirteen.[2] Soon after, Ventrice joined a female pop group based out of Boston, called Poetry In Motion. In 2002, the pop group dispersed and Mandy launched new solo efforts, working with the likes of Shep Goodman & Kenny Gioia, Aaron Accetta, Carl Sturken & Evan Rogers, and Sam Hollander.
After moving to New York in 2004, Mandy began performing with rock trio, Lights Resolve; touring with The Used, Shiny Toy Guns, and Panic! At The Disco, and performing at various major music festivals, including The Bamboozle and CMJ.[3]
In 2010, she released her first dance/pop single with American house DJ, and multi-platinum recording artist, Ian Carey.[4] After the song and video's massive exposure, she released a single with one of Germany's top DJ duos, Michael Mind Project. The single charted on top 40 radio and the DJ dance charts in Europe. In the midst of her overseas success, Mandy moved back to California and worked with hip-hop producer Just Blaze on a new track for Eminem’s highly anticipated studio album, Recovery. She performed the lead vocal on the track’s hook, but the song wasn’t completed in time for the official release of the album in June. Less than one month later, Mandy performed sample vocals on a Kanye West production for Rick Ross’ single, Live Fast Die Young, off Ross' fourth studio album, Teflon Don. She also performed background vocals for R&B legend Charlie Wilson on his number one single, “You Are”, and most recently on the massively successful Watch The Throne album with Jay-Z and Kanye West.[5]
Currently, Mandy resides in California's Bay Area, where she is completing her debut pop record, titled, 1985. She began writing the record in Summer 2010 with music producer, Mack Mckinney; each song depicting very personal moments in her life.[6] The record's expected release date is January 3rd, 2012.
