Bethel University alum Mandi Thomas represented her alma mater well on NBC’s The Voice. The Memphis native was among the top 17 competitors on the singing contest before her elimination on May 5.
Thomas enrolled at Bethel in 2004 as an inaugural member of Renaissance. She graduated in December 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Music.
She is currently a vocal instructor at Visions Academy of Performing Arts in Cordova and the lead singer of Cruisin Heavy.
Mandi’s journey began with a blind audition at The Voice studio in Los Angeles. She performed “Con Te Partiro,” and was selected by coach Kelly Clarkson.
