Mindy White (born June 19, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and musician from Houston, Texas. She is a former member of Arizona-based indie rock band Lydia and current lead vocalist of indie rock band States.

Early life and career

Mindy was born in Houston, Texas and later moved to Nashville, Tennessee when she was 5 years old when her parents wanted to pursue music themselves.

In early 2007, she joined Gilbert, Arizona-based indie rock group Lydia, headed by Leighton Antelman, on vocals and keyboard. Lydia released one studio album with White, titled Illuminate, on March 18, 2008.

In 2009, Mindy left Lydia to start her own musical project, States, with members of Florida-based alternative band Copeland, including Bryan Laurenson (guitar), Jonathan Bucklew (drums), Dean Lorenz (bass), and Stephen Laurenson (guitar).[1] Together, they released their debut studio album Room to Run on June 19, 2012 via Tooth & Nail Records, followed by Paradigm on December 3, 2013, released independently with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign.[2][3]

Aside from her work with Lydia and States, White has collaborated with many iconic singers, such as Anthony Green from Circa Survive on a holiday cover of the song Baby, It's Cold Outside in 2010[4] and artist BLACKBEAR on his song "End Up" in 2012.[5]

Mindy is a known vegan, and is a supporter of prominent animal rights organization PETA.[6][7]
