Mandy Moore - ‘Cry’
Mandy Moore began voice lessons and auditioning for plays in the local theaters and landed her first role as Ngana in “South Pacific”. She has appeared in over a dozen plays in the Central Florida area and has had lead roles in “Bye Bye Birdie” and “Guys and Dolls”.
Mandy spent two summers at Stagedoor Manor, a performing academy in New York, studying theater during the day and performing at night at the Catskill resorts. Mandy was even auditioned for Broadway and on her first try she made it down to the final two choices for “High Society”.
She entered the fashion world appearing as a model in a Mexican teen magazine. During the recording of a theme song for a TV pilot, she received an offer to complete a full demo by a producer who took notice of here. A talent scout came in when she was recording and sent an unfurnished demo to David McPherson, Senior Vice President of Urban A&R for Epic Records/550.
McPherson liked what he heard and immediately flew down to hear the young star sing. After receiving a couple of other offers, the bright young star decided to sign a deal with Sony Music and tour with Backstreet boys. Her debut single, ‘Candy’, sold half a million copies. Sales of ‘Candy’ were enough to convince 550 Music to rush release of So Real, her debut album in 1999. There were three follow-ups, including the soundtrack to her 2002 debut film A Walk to Remember, a small-budget drama that became a modest box-office success.
