\n\tCalifornia native Mandisa launched her career as a contestant on American Idol<\/em>\u2018s fifth season, and later collaborated with TobyMac and Kirk Franklin on TobyMac\u2019s album Portable Sounds<\/em>. She released her first album, True Beauty<\/em>, in 2007. The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Top Christian Albums chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2011, Mandisa earned her first No. 1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Christian Airplay chart with \u201cStronger,\u201d and earned a top 20 hit on the chart with \u201cGood Morning\u201d featuring TobyMac.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2013, Mandisa\u2019s song \u201cOvercomer\u201d spent 10 weeks atop Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Hot Christian Songs chart and became a signature hit for the singer.

\n\tMandisa also featured on songs including TobyMac\u2019s \u201cLose My Soul,\u201d Crowder\u2019s \u201cLet It Rain (Is There Anybody)\u201d and Jordan Feliz\u2019s \u201cJesus Is Coming Back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeveral CCM and gospel artists honored the late singer via posts on social media, including Brandon Heath, who wrote<\/a>, \u201cLove you, Disa. You were a force of love and encouragement in a difficult world. You were a sister and friend and I\u2019ll miss you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNatalie Grant wrote<\/a> on Instagram, \u201cYour smile and infectious spirit lit up every room. You were a true champion of others. I was the benefactor of your encouragement more times than I can count.
Thankful for your music, your honesty and testimony that helped thousands upon thousands of people find the hope of Jesus. I loved sitting by you at awards shows so we could geek out at every performance. We were both true Christian music fans, and unashamed of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMandisa was also an author, writing the book Out of the Dark: My Journey Through the Shadows to Find God\u2019s Joy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
