MANDY HARVEY is an award-winning jazz singer, songwriter, & inspirational speaker, who lost all her residual hearing by the age of 19. In 2017, she came 4th on America's Got Talent, her debut performance on the show convinced Simon Cowell to give her the 'Golden-Buzzer', & afterwards he compared her to Adele. She's also absolute fire with a ukulele in hand.

I don't know what's more impressive with Mandy: her angelic voice, her incredible lyrics, the fact she does it all without hearing anything, or just what a wonderfully open & genuine person she is.  She's an inspirational speaker, & she. is. INSPIRATIONAL! This was one of my favourite conversations for this podcast so far, & I hope you enjoy it!!
