Editor's note

Mandisa, from American Idol to Christian soul.

A singer whose music centers on resilience and faith, with songs like 'Out of the Dark' and 'Bleed The Same.'

For a sense of her sound, try 'Out of the Dark' or 'Bleed The Same' with Tobymac and Kirk Franklin. They frame her mix of soul and message pretty well.

Mandisa's voice first caught attention on the fifth season of 'American Idol' in 2006, but she built a career beyond that spotlight. Her songs, such as 'Out of the Dark' and 'Bleed The Same,' often address personal struggles and faith with a soulful touch. She's been open about health challenges like gastric bypass surgery, tying her music to real-life advocacy.

After her 'American Idol' run, she signed with Sparrow Records and released 'True Beauty' in 2007. Later albums like 'Freedom' and 'Out of the Dark' continued her focus on Christian themes, with collaborations including Tobymac on 'Good Morning.'

Her music, including tracks like 'Stronger' and 'Good Morning' with Tobymac, operates in the contemporary Christian space with a focus on resilience and faith. She has been open about personal challenges, including undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 2009 and later sharing a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome, which she has discussed in relation to women's health advocacy.

She has released several albums, such as 'Freedom' in 2011 and 'Out of the Dark' in 2016.
