The Gospel singer was part of the season 5 of American Idol show. She was placed on position nine. Her debut album was True Beauty that she released in 2007. More album releases ensued.

Mandisa’s fifth album Overcomer grabbed her the Grammy award for the Best Contemporary Christian music album in the year 2014.

Mandisa had an addiction to food and desired weight loss. Her aim was to drop 100 pounds. She reached this goal in February 2011. However, she lost a close friend to breast cancer in 2014. And this loss led her to gain weight and spiral down into depression. She also felt that God betrayed her and started shunning public life.
