Blending retro pop, Americana, and classic storytelling, Better captures the sultry, cinematic energy of a love triangle—like a theme song for a James Bond film. Recorded at Cedar Creek Studios in Austin, it features a full-band arrangement with guitar, bass, drums, pedal steel, and evocative vocals that land somewhere between Brandi Carlile and Lana Del Rey.

Mandy Prater is an Austin, Texas-based musician, singer and songwriter. She would probably tell you that music has saved her life many times since she started her first garage band as a young teen in small-town Indiana.

She writes about love, vulnerability, and the courage to be authentic, with music and melodies that are accessible while still maintaining an edge that hearkens back to a DIY and alternative aesthetic.

Her 2021 single, “On The Outside”   was independently released and reached #32 on the Texas Internet Radio chart and #76 in the Texas Country Music Radio chart.

In 2020, she released “Keep Calm”, which was added to Spotify playlists and received plays on independent radio stations across the U.S and reached #2 UK UKCountry Radio.com

In addition to her current activities as a recording artist and performer around Central Texas, Mandy Prater has spent the last few years growing her global audience by broadcasting live shows on the streaming platform Twitch three times each week, where she has gained exposure to as many as 200,000 viewers in a single night and often plays to 1000+ viewers per show.
