Mandy Carter – that’s me! I write songs that paint pictures. Songs that put you right there in the story, seeing, touching, feeling. Songs that come from ideas, experiences or a sudden flash of an image fully formed and begging to be told. It’s music for grown-ups, music for those of us who’ve experienced life and want more than just an annoyingly catchy hook. You may like to think of ‘Signs of Life’ as a wine – a full-bodied vintage red, rich yet smooth on your taste buds. Let it flow. You might just like it. When I started I wasn’t a trained musician, I was a bored civil servant stuck in a traffic jam. I progressed to being a mother who decided to take singing lessons rather than do the housework, and was lucky enough to discover before retirement that life doesn’t have to be regimented. Lyrics, music, arrangement and vocals, it’s all mine. Sink or float. Sit back, relax, let the music massage your senses and take you where it will. Mandyx
