Biography

Mandy Harvey is an American jazz and pop singer and songwriter who gained widespread attention after appearing on the 12th season of America’s Got Talent (AGT) in 2017. Born with hearing and other health issues, Harvey lost her residual hearing at the age of 18 due to a connective tissue disorder and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Despite this significant challenge, she pursued her passion for music and learned to sing using muscle memory, visual tuners, and trusting her pitch. Harvey’s inspiring journey and incredible talent have earned her a devoted following and critical acclaim. Mandy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up in Longmont, Colorado. She began singing at a young age and was active in her high school’s choir. After losing her hearing, she initially abandoned her musical aspirations but later returned to singing with the support of her family and friends. Harvey’s emotional performance of her original song “Try” on AGT earned her Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, propelling her to the finals and into the public eye. Harvey has since released several albums, including “Smile” (2009), “After You’ve Gone” (2010), “All of Me” (2014), and “Nice to Meet You” (2019). In addition to her music career, she is an advocate for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and works to inspire others to overcome their obstacles.
