A cause of death was not released, but loved ones wrote in a statement that her “struggles are over.”
A cause of death for Mandisa, whose full name was Mandisa Lynn Hundley, was not released, but a statement announcing her death said that her “struggles are over.”
“Even more than her music, the Platinum-selling singer will forever be known for her huge heart and sincerity,” the statement said. “Mandisa loved Jesus, and she used her unusually extensive platform to talk about Him at every turn. Her kindness was epic, her smile electric, her voice massive, but it was no match for the size of her heart.”
A native of Citrus Heights, California, Mandisa studied vocal jazz at American River College in Sacramento and music at Fisk University in Nashville. Her debut album,. She enjoyed her best commercial success in 2013, when her albumwon a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album—a win that elevated her profile within Christian music to another stratosphere., she said her musical influences included Def Leppard and Whitney Houston.
Mandisa pushed those insults aside, however, and made it to the show’s top nine. She addressed Cowell’s comments before her elimination, but took the high road. “What I want to say to you is that, yes, you hurt me and I cried and it was painful, it really was,” she said. “But I want you to know that I’ve forgiven you and that you don't need someone to apologize in order to forgive somebody. I figure that if Jesus could die so that all of my wrongs could be forgiven, I can certainly extend that same grace to you.”
