1999年初试啼声发行首张专辑后, GRP唱片公司极为看好她甜美的外型 及毫不含糊的演奏功力,旋即与她签下合约, 果然2003年的It Just Happens That Way甫发行 便有三首歌曲打进排行榜前十名并蝉联了十九周之久, 证明了这位甜妹儿的音乐实力。
Saxophonist/Singer/Songwriter Mindi Abair has not only set sonic trends, but has broken all the boundaries as she continues to define the less traditional future of jazz. Her own brand of pop meets jazz adds a refreshingly unique voice to an exciting new generation of crossover artists who are, like her, powerful instrumentalists as well as thought-provoking singer/songwriters. This Florida raised, Los Angeles-based performer’s unique hybrid sound ….a mix of cool vulnerability and utter conviction …have brought her to the top of her game. She tours with her own band to sold out audiences worldwide, hosts a popular nationally syndicated radio show “Chill With Mindi Abair”, has four successful major label solo releases to her credit “It Just Happens That Way” (2003), “Come As You Are” (2004), “Life Less Ordinary” (2006) and “Stars” (2008). The list of artists she has toured or recorded with are a testament to her talent. They include the Backstreet Boys, Duran Duran, Mandy Moore, Josh Groban, Adam Sandler, Keb’ Mo’, Lalah Hathaway, Lee Ritenour, Teena Marie, John Tesh, Bobby Lyle, Jonathan Butler, Peter White and Rick Braun.
