All of us love to eat, but I have a passion for cooking."

Like her sister Allie, Mandi spends a lot of her free time cooking new dishes.

"I love different cultures and it's really fun for me to try and recreate dishes from around the world," Mandi said. Though each has a recognizable solo voice, it is hard to beat the unique blend that comes from sister’s voices.

For the past five years they have been creating and uploading videos of covers and original music to their YouTube channel (established 8 December 2007 with currently 597,826 subscribers and more than 72 million video views) which has open doors of opportunity for them to collaborate and release their wonderful music to audiences in both the United States and Canada, including performances at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

"One day I would love to travel to all these places and learn from some great chefs!"

Mandi is also a nature lover who loves to run and hike while listening to all of her favorite music. I've really studied the way he writes. We grew up listening to country music so I have always admired the way country artists can be comedic and witty in their writing, so I would love to collaborate with someone like Hunter Hayes or Rascal Flatts.

Allie: My inspirations come from everywhere.

We have access to homes, and doors are opened for us to come in all over the world through the Internet, which is really powerful, and we don’t take that for granted.”[2]

The sisters performed in their first sold-out ticketed concert in Los Angeles on August 29, 2014. They have released four EPs: Gardiner Sisters (2009), Merry Christmas (2013), L.O.V.E.

They have been performing and creating music since their childhood. They began singing at church, festivals, and eventually concerts. Hailey told Deseret News:

I think in the industry what they say is it takes seven ‘no’s’ to get a ‘yes.

Well, we’ve had about 700 ‘no’s’ and still waiting for that ‘yes.’ But our parents have always been there, and they’ve told us if you want this you can have it, you just have to put the work in, and if you are putting the Lord first and working to glorify him and move his work forward, he’ll help you and he’ll magnify your efforts.

That song has such great energy and it's so fun to be able to sing it as a family.

Allie: I love both of our Justin Timberlake covers ("Mirrors" and "What Goes Around Comes Around") I really connect to the lyrics to those songs so I really enjoy singing them.

Mandi: My favorite cover is "Wide Awake," by Katie Perry! They also choose songs that are uplifting and have a positive message because they realize the impact that they can have on their audience.

The last sentence of their bio on their YouTube channels sums up the sisters’ objective as far as their music is concerned:

We hope to uplift and inspire those who listen to our music and watch our videos.

She also adores traveling and has been to Africa and South America.

"I feel so much peace from taking time to just sit outside and meditate and absorb what's around me," Hailey said.

Hailey is also the groups primary songwriter.

"What I feel I contribute best to the group is my songwriting ability," Hailey said.

The group began with older sisters Hailey, Allie, and Mandi when their mother taught them three-part harmony.

"I never follow a recipe exactly, I kind of just go with the flow."

Mandi is the youngest sister in the group, and said she has a very special role in the singing trio.

"I am in charge of bringing the fun to our practices and keeping the peace," she joked.

She loves arranging harmonies for the group to sing, and has recently taken up the piano, which she hopes to put to use in more of the girls' covers and live shows.

Mandi said that food plays a huge part in the lives of the Gardiner Sisters.

"I come from a family where we love food more than life itself," Mandi said.

That's kind of how I developed my vocal style.
