Mandy Woods
'Down-to-earth words, rugged beauty in the voice'
A seasoned writer and performer in both the UK and America, Mandy has spent most of her adult life giving in to wanderlust and crafting songs, many of which tell a story - about the ups and downs of relationships, her own and other people's struggles and quests for whatever it is we think our life is about, and anything else that has set her imagination off on her unconventional journey to where she is now.
After spending a decade in Austin, Texas, followed by a number of years back in the UK, she made a return visit to the States in 2010, drawn to Nashville, Tennessee, where she met and paired up professionally with singer songwriter Terri Calderon, with whom she has written a number of songs. Mandy has since then been over to Nashville several times to write and perform. She is now living in Brighton, and is a member of the London Songwriters' Group. In 2013 she released a 5-track CD, 'All Along', recorded at Tigersonic Studio in London, and she is involved with the London-based Fearless Females collective. Mandy also formed Bluebird with Amanda Burgess in Oxfordshire, and Yellow Rose with Jayne Ingles in Eastbourne.
Mandy also has a personalised songwriting service, Dax Lyrical, involving writing bespoke songs about people's precious sausage dogs! Her various commissions include a song she wrote for a dax-loving couple in Florida that's subsequently gained quite a few hits on YouTube, and that can be heard on the Dax Lyrical website.
