Artist description Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Mindy grew up loving music and poetry. That was the only way she seemed to be able to express herself in what seemed a very lonely and empty world. Mindy has been singing since a very young age but didn’t realize her talents until someone pointed it out to her at the age of 16. Mindy is a happy, cheerful, loving, and caring person whose first and favorite love is Jesus Christ her Savior! Her motto “Let him who glories, glory in the LORD.” 1 Corinthians 1:31 Her music is NOT Christian music, though you can say she is a singer who is a Christian. Her music is about life, trials, experiences, and her love for Christ. If you need a renewing of Spirit, or just want to enjoy “feel good” music, you won’t want to miss her! You won’t find another out there even similar to Mindy; she is unique in herself and likes to keep it that way. She wants to give her listeners something to look forward to, she likes change. She’s always learning new ways to play better, to sound more alive, and to tell a better story. “My life is a writing pen, simply to glorify the Most High God!”

Artist History After going in and out of bands, trying to find just the right sound, she finally realized she was not going to get it from anyone. SO she sought to learn the piano, but it didn’t fit. Then one day by accident she picked up a friends guitar and couldn’t put it down. That was June of 2001, and Mindy is now 24 with a fresh new sound that you can’t get anywhere!

Press Reviews Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist, Mindy Hughes has been making appearances throughout the town and has been causing a scene. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful, sung over her words that send chills down your spine and leave you wanting and searching for more than just the everyday life! Her songwriting expresses her experiences, good and bad, sweet and sour. She has the depth of Joni Mitchell and Joan Biaz, the in your face like Tori Amos, yet the sweetness of Patty Griffin and Lucinda Williams. Mindy’s style is VERY different and you’re not likely to hear anything like it from any other. She is her own person, likes to have her own sound, and tell her own stories, each one can take you to a place you’ve either never been before, or one you know, oh so well. She has been involved in the Houston and Austin music scene since April 2002 and is constantly growing and changing her sounds to keep her audience from getting bored.
