In early 2006, she joined
Gilbert, Arizona-based indie rock group
Lydia, headed by Leighton Antelman, on vocals and keyboard. Lydia released one studio album with White, titled
Illuminate, on March 18, 2008. Mindy toured with Lydia for the next few years, playing shows all over North America. In 2009, Mindy left Lydia to start her own musical project, States, with members of Florida-based
alternative band
Copeland, including Bryan Laurenson (guitar), Jonathan Bucklew (drums), Dean Lorenz (bass), and Stephen Laurenson (guitar). Together, they recorded an EP called ''Line 'Em Up
which came out on October 12, 2010. They then released their full-length studio album, Room to Run
, on October 18, 2011, and later re-released it (with the addition of two demos, acoustic versions of two songs from their EP, a remix, and two brand new songs) on June 19, 2012, via Tooth & Nail Records, followed by Paradigm'' on December 3, 2013, released independently with the help of a successful
Kickstarter campaign. In 2017, Mindy released her first ever dreamy-pop solo single, "Lifted". It was followed by a fresh, heartfelt, beat-driven ballad, "Lost You in the Summer" in 2018, and later, her super-fun, electro-pop son "Nothing New", in 2019. As of 2020, she's continued to release even more captivating, emotional pop songs, some even seeming to explore her Nashville roots, such as the beautiful and fittingly haunting ballad, "Ghost", and her
1970s-inspired, perfectly harmonized, listen-on-repeat-worthy track, "Somewhere". Mindy has toured with bands such as
Circa Survive,
The Starting Line,
Set Your Goals,
Lights,
Copeland,
Metro Station,
Paramore and others. Aside from her work with Lydia and States, White has collaborated with
Anthony Green of
Circa Survive on a holiday cover of the song
Baby, It's Cold Outside in 2010 and artist BLACKBEAR on his song "End Up" in 2012. Mindy also collaborated with artist TELLE of rock band The Word Alive, lending her guest vocals in 2021 to his song, "Letting Go". Mindy is married to
Forever the Sickest Kids drummer Kyle Burns. Mindy is vegan and an avid supporter of animal rights. Mindy supports the ASPCA, WWF, and
The Humane Society of the United States. She is also a big supporter of and advocates for human rights, women's rights, children's safety and education, amplifying the voices and protections of Indigenous people and POC, LGBTQ rights, humane conservation, and environmental protections. In mid-2014, Mindy had to step back from touring and music completely due to mystery severe illness, which later turned out to be Chronic Lyme Disease from a tick bite she got in Nashville, TN. She spent the next few years quietly fighting the illness, among several others which had developed due to the Lyme Disease being untreated for so long. Because of controversy surrounding the disease, Mindy didn't receive a proper diagnosis and treatment until five years later, and she still struggles with many of the physical and mental symptoms today. She advocates for Lyme Disease awareness and support, along with Dysautonomia awareness and support, and the importance of mental health, therapy, and self care. ==Discography==
