Tell us a little bit about YOU!

MANDY CORRENTE: My name is Mandy Corrente, and I’m a singer and dancer from Miami, Florida. I started dancing at two years old and singing at five years old.

I also love to do YouTube videos and learn new things. I play drums and piano, and I also love animals.

You’re a seriously talented singer and dancer! What do you love most about performing?

MANDY: I really love to have fun and entertain people. But the thing that I love most is to make people happy with my songs and dances!

Your songs are always such upbeat anthems with positive vibes. What is your favorite feel-good song to jam out to?

MANDY: My songs express the message to “just be yourself no matter what people say to you”, just like in my song, Style. I love that song because I enjoy being myself and wearing clothes that make me feel happy.

What’s up next for you?

MANDY: I have a new song coming out called My Bestie, which is a fun song that is dedicated to my best friend. I decided on this song because everyone has an unconditional friend who will always support you and be by your side!

How do you shine bright?

MANDY: I’m always myself, very kind, and I always want to make people feel happy. So I spread positive vibes through my songs and I always support kids dancers in the industry to be in my music videos.
