Mindy Gledhill

Mindy Gledhill, an American singer and songwriter, shapes pop songs with folk influences that guided her trajectory from a faith-centered debut in the early 2000s toward independent music, where her whimsical yet wistful approach echoes the work of Katie Herzig, Ingrid Michaelson, and Sara Bareilles. Among her 2010s releases are the albums Anchor and Rabbit Hole, while she maintains an ongoing partnership with electronic producer Kaskade, who included her on the Grammy-nominated 2011 album Fire & Ice.

Born and raised in Eureka, California, the Utah-based Gledhill passed part of her youth in Spain, where she became fluent in Spanish, before enrolling at Brigham Young University. She issued her first album, The Sum of All Grace, through the Latter Day Saint-oriented imprint Lumen in 2004, earning two 2005 Pearl Awards for Best Inspirational Album and Best New Artist. The next year she exited the label to chase a secular indie pop direction, independently distributing Feather in the Wind in 2007, Anchor in 2010, the Christmas-themed Winter Moon in 2011, and Pocketful of Poetry in 2013, the last of these produced by Cason Cooley of Sixpence None the Richer and Katie Herzig. Rabbit Hole, her sixth album, appeared in 2019.
