biography
A naturally pretty, bubbly singer and actress hailing from teen pop Mecca Orlando, Florida, Mandy Moore went from local musical theater and fame as the "National Anthem Girl" for her performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Orlando sports events, to a platinum debut album at age15. Spotted by producers who heard her take on the patriotic hymn and suggested she cut a demo, Moore was soon a fourteen-year-old sitting pretty with a record deal. Touring with the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC in 1999 exposed the young singer to a large audience, and demand for her debut single "Candy" was so strong
