BIOGRAPHY

A much-loved and highly regarded singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Mindy Jostyn passed on in March 2005. For nearly ten years, Mindy Jostyn toured throughout the eastern United States wowing audiences with her soulful voice, distinctive melodies, witty and insightful lyrics, and her command of a host of different instruments including guitar, violin, harmonica, accordion, and piano.

Prior to launching her solo career, Jostyn toured with some of the biggest names in popular music including Billy Joel, John Mellencamp, Donald Fagen, the Hooters, Joe Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, and Carly Simon. She also appeared and/or recorded with John Bon Jovi, Shania Twain, Andreas Vollenweider, Pat Benetar, and Laura Nyro.

Jostyn grew up in San Jose, CA and Wellesley, MA. Already playing several instruments at age 11, she organized an all-girl ensemble called The Tigers. When boys came into the picture, she started writing about them and performing with them in a series of bands culminating with The Cyclone Rangers, a cover band that performed for a decade in and around New York City.

At every stage of her career, Jostyn composed and performed devotional songs, both in and out of churches, using her music to integrate the spiritual with the secular.

Shortly before "In His Eyes" was released, Mindy told an interviewer that it was becoming more and more natural for her to bring spiritual insight to her music and to her communication with her audiences. "We need to be spiritually provoked, stirred, and awakened, over and over again." -- Mindy Jostyn.
