Early life and education

[edit]

Mendler was born in Washington, D.C., and moved with her family to Mill Valley, California, at the age of eight.[6][7] It was there where she first expressed interest in acting and began working in plays.[8] When she was eight years old, Mendler began taking part in local roles in both dramatic and musical theatre, and became the youngest performer in the San Francisco Fringe Festival.[9] When she was 11 years old, she hired an agent to help her get acting jobs.[10] Mendler is the niece of psychologist Christine Blasey Ford.[1]

In the 2010s, Mendler studied towards a degree in anthropology at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, California.[11] Two members of her band also studied at USC.[12] In an interview with Brian Mansfield of USA Today, Mendler said: "My plan right now is just to do one class at a time and see how that goes. I'm just going to study something that will be interesting and doable from the road and just take care of my general education courses for now. I want to know something outside of what I do."[13] In 2013, she chose anthropology[14] and studied Medieval Visual Culture, and medical anthropology.[15][16] To the University Star, Mendler said USC was important: "I think seeing that college life and what that would've been like, it does make you wonder what sort of lifestyle that would be, but I'm really grateful for what I have, and I think it's cool that, because my career path is not as formulaic, I can kind of decide when I want to take time off to do certain things."[14] Her mother[17] was pursuing a doctorate in public policy at USC at the time.[18] Mendler dropped out of USC in 2016.[19] In May 2017, Mendler was announced as one of the 2017 MIT Media Lab's Director's Fellows.[20]

In May 2018, she announced on Twitter that she started a graduate program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a focus on improving social media: "As an entertainer, for years I struggled with social media because I felt like there was a more loving and human way to connect with fans."[21][22] In 2020, she completed an M.S. in media arts and sciences at MIT.[23] Her master's thesis was titled OurStory: Dispute System Design Technology for Stakeholder Inclusion.[23] Deb Roy was her thesis advisor.[23] She later began working on her Ph.D with MIT's Center for Constructive Communications and Social Machines group.[24] During 2022, she was enrolled at Harvard Law School and at MIT.[25] In May 2024, she was awarded a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law.[26][27]

The film did, however, receive a theatrical release in countries such as Russia, Romania, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Ecuador, and Mexico. The film drew 2.1 million viewers, a better-than-average prime-time audience for ABC Family, and per the network, was the week's top cable film among coveted female demographic groups.[38] She had a supporting role in the film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.[39] In 2009, Mendler became a recurring character in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place.

Entrepreneurship

In 2023, Mendler and her husband founded Northwood Space, a satellite data startup.[134] The venture-backed company, where she serves as CEO, is based in El Segundo, California, and intends to mass produce satellite ground stations.[135][136] Mendler told CNBC that the idea for the company was conceived during her stay in New Hampshire during the COVID-19 lockdowns.[137][138] She said that "While everybody else was making their sourdough starters, we were building antennas out of random crap we could find at Home Depot. For me, why the ground-side matters is because it actually is about bringing the impacts of space home to people."[138] They launched with $6.3 million in funding from investors including the Founders Fund and Andreessen Horowitz.[139][140][137][141]

In a 2024 article for Hero magazine with Lemonade Mouth co-star Naomi Scott, Mendler explained her career shift: "I think I started to feel a bit of that disconnect with what I was doing in my day-to-day, in entertainment and started to put out feelers into more of the research domain. Then visiting the MIT media lab, I just felt like it was such fertile territory to explore something about an impact that would go into a different space, and beyond. I palpably remember that point in the transition, because music is always my first love, I love it so deeply, but I remember being at South by Southwest and just feeling… Lonely. Finding your artistic community can be so hard."[142]

Mendler was featured in a March 2013 public campaign Delete Digital Drama with Seventeen magazine to end cyberbullying.[152] About the campaign she said "Being bullied is something I experienced in school and it is not fun...I love working to end cyberbullying.

Artistry

[edit]

Influences

[edit]
Mendler has cited Bob Dylan (left), Florence and the Machine (center) and Feist (right) as her musical influences.[18]

Mendler has cited Bob Dylan as her biggest musical influence.[171] To Ed Condran of Hartford Courant she said that: "You look at what Bob Dylan and artists like him have done and you just can't help but be blown away. I'm just glad I have the opportunity to start with this and I just want to take it as far as I can".[172] In an interview with Disney Channel Netherlands, she revealed that her favorite song was "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" from Dylan's 1963 album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.[173] To Taylor Trudon of Huffington Post she said: "He was the first musician I got into where I paid attention to songwriting. He has a way of writing songs that's really playful with lyrics, but at the same time he's saying something that people feel is important and that they relate to. He spoke for a whole generation.".[171] Also to Trudon, Mendler cited Etta James, Elvis Presley, B. B. King, Lily Allen, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, and talked about these artists: "I love that they have soul in their voices. I think that's something important".[171] Other musical influences include Elvis Costello,[174] The Delfonics,[175] Red Hot Chili Peppers[176] and Van Morrison.[177] During an interview with Yahoo!, in 2012, Mendler also commented that her first female influence was the R&B girl group Salt-N-Pepa and sang an impromptu a cappella rendition of the song "Shoop".[178]

She said hip hop band Fugees had great influence in her music training and also the recording of the debut album and song "Ready or Not", "One of the writers was like 'Check out this Fugees song, 'Ready or Not'. So we all listened to it and were like that would be kind of fun to do some sort of interpolation off of that song, which is what we did. I think it stands by itself as its own song but it still has that memorable quality of the Fugees song, which is fun. I think we were all really proud of it and hoping it will go far".[179] For her debut album, Hello My Name Is..., Mendler was inspired by indie pop singers Ingrid Michaelson and Feist.[180] Among the pop music artists, she cited Maroon 5,[181] No Doubt, Destiny's Child,[177] Justin Timberlake,[182] Beyoncé and Bruno Mars.[171] She cited Jamie Foxx as a great model of how to have a career in acting and music.[171]

Mendler says that she is influenced by British neo-soul music, and listed Ellie Goulding, Florence and the Machine, Marina Diamandis, and Lianne La Havas as her biggest British influences.[18] She has also mentioned Natasha Bedingfield,[177] Broken Bells, Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse.[174] In 2013, Mendler revealed to have a big admiration for the Adele's musical style. To Disney Channel UK she said that "admire the career of Adele, because she has her own musical style. She does things her way and writes about things she is passionate about. It is really working out well for her".[174] She was also influenced by Canadian artists Feist and Tegan and Sara.[181][183] To Hartford Courant, she commented: "I've been a fan of Tegan and Sara's for awhile. They just do what they want to do. They don't follow trends".[172] She covered the song "I Was a Fool" by the duo and released with the message: "I heard this song by Tegan and Sara a couple weeks ago and couldn't stop singing it, so I just had to do my own version".[184] In 2014, she mentioned in an interview to CKQK-FM Canadian artists Nelly Furtado, Joni Mitchell and European bands Coldplay and Little Dragon as influences in composing her second album.[185]

In acting career, Mendler has cited some influences as Jamie Foxx, Natalie Portman and Rachel McAdams. About McAdams she said that "She plays a variety of roles, she has a lot of charisma, and she doesn't try to live her life in the public eye".[186] She also admires the dedication of Christian Bale: "I could not live my life as committed to the craft as he does, with body transformations and such, he goes to such extremes but he is very admirable".[186] Mendler also mentioned Lindsay Lohan as a great actress.[187]

Lyrical themes and songwriting

[edit]

I think the fear when writing a song always that the outside world won't think it's as awesome as you do. That's the scary part about progressing through releasing the song, and also the fun part in sharing it with other people. Sharing that experience with all of these people, it goes from being something that's very much for me and for the other writers who wrote with me, into being something that's for everybody else. That's what performing is. You're giving it to everyone else. I think that that's really cool, it's also super trippy, because you'd never think this thing that you created in a small room with four other people would be something you'd get to share with so many people".

— Mendler about the writing process.[179]

Thematically, Guilherme Tintel of Portal It Pop has noted that Mendler was not immature as the first work of other Hollywood Records artists.[188] Tintel compares her songs to Jessie J, Katy Perry, Natalia Kills and Taylor Swift.[188] Mendler said that the writing process isn't hard, because she was influenced by her own experiences.[179] Her debut single, "Ready or Not", talks about self-confidence and deal with boys.[179] To Pop Dirt Mendler said: "I consider myself to be that girl sitting at the curb waiting for the world, so I think it's a great message to send to just go for the things that you want to take charge of".[179] Her debut album discussed relationships ("Rocks at My Window", "Top of the World", "Love Will Tell Us Where to Go", "The Fall Song" and "Hold On for Dear Love"), break-up ("5:15"), alienation and romantic chaos ("Hurricane" and "Forgot to Laugh"), self-confidence ("Ready or Not"), self-esteem ("City Lights"), friendship ("We're Dancing"), and blonde girls ("Blonde").[188]

To Hartford Courant, she commented that writing is a compulsion. "It's also something I really enjoy. I like to create. It's part of being a recording artist. I love to write songs".[172] Mendler also said she didn't want to make commercial songs, but timeless songs. "I want to make music that stands the test of time. You look at what Bob Dylan and artists like him have done and you just can't help but be blown away. I'm just glad I have the opportunity to start with this and I just want to take it as far as I can. I wanted variety and to just make things really interesting. This isn't just something that comes out of a machine. It came out of me. This isn't about product. I want to grow as an artist. I remember listening to certain recording artists and songs that had a really big impact on me".[172]

Musical and voice style

[edit]

Mendler is a mezzo-soprano.[189] She plays guitar,[190] keyboard,[191] and keytar.[192] Sávio Alves of Febre Teen Magazine said that Mendler's voice was "strong and sweet". He calls Mendler's voice as having a "metallic tone" and this being "rare in young female singers".[189] Her voice was compared to indie and blues artists.[193] Her music is generally pop[194] and reggae fusion[195][106] and has features of R&B,[196][194][106] funk,[197] and hip hop soul.[176] In an interview, she said she prefers to escape the traditional pop and dance-pop and adding other elements. "I have funky, R&B tendencies when I write by myself. I really love doo-wop and a jazzy swing beat. Rhythm is a big emphasis in my own writing".[180] Her voice and style has been compared to Cher Lloyd and Lily Allen.[106] Her vocals were compared to Miley Cyrus, who also started on the Disney Channel, but in a 2009 interview to Christian Post Mendler said: "I'm not Miley Cyrus. There may be some similarities but I'm my own person."[198] In 2013, during an interview with the Huffington Post, Mendler was compared to other young artists and asked if she would follow the footsteps in pop music. Mendler said that "They've done so much and they're so talented. I think it's tricky because they've been obviously very successful, but I think you always want to be your own person and not be categorized by doing the same thing".[171]

Mendler was included on Billboard's "21 Under 21: Music's Hottest Minors" list in 2012.[199] In 2013, she also appeared in the list of thirteen.[200] She was also chosen as one of the ten hottest young female artists by Forbes Woman.[201] In 2012, Mendler was chosen as role model of the year by Common Sense Media, a non-profit organization that honors innovative minds from the worlds of entertainment, public policy and technology and rewards mainly teachers, scientists and philanthropists.[146] She was honored for her charity work in anti-bullying actions, improving the lives of families by providing a trustworthy role model and creating a positive impact in the world.[145] Mendler was the second youngest artist to win the award, after Miranda Cosgrove.[202]

Mendler's acting performances have been praised by critics. She was called "likeable and amazing" in Lemonade Mouth (2011) by Khalid McCalla of The Oberlin Review.[203] Carolina Malis of the South China Morning Post believed the role "truly showcased her versatility, blending acting with singing and setting the stage for a career that would soon blossom beyond the boundaries of teen stardom."[204] Cami Seymore of The Post agreed that Lemonade Mouth brought attention to her acting and musical abilities.[205] In a review of Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas! (2012), Kihoon Lee of The Cardinal Times called Mendler "talented", "loveable and sweet".[206] James Knight of Classicalite opined that Undateable (2015–2016) "only showed up on the radar" because of Mendler's casting and performance.[207] David Bloom of Deadline agreed and deemed Mendler a "powerhouse".[208] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter noted Mendler's chemistry with Undateable co-star Brent Morin, which he believed was utilized well in Merry Happy Whatever (2019),[209] Mendler's last screen performance. In his review of the latter series, Brett White of Decider called her and the cast a "real gift".[210]

Mendler's music has received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. Her debut album Hello My Name Is... was compared to the works of Carly Rae Jepsen and Demi Lovato by Seventeen.[211] Tim Sendra of AllMusic defined Mendler's voice as "idiosyncratic" while reviewing Hello My Name Is... and called it "an impressive debut from a singer who shows real talent and has every chance to break out of the Disney mold and do something all her own down the road." Sendra also praised Mendler's "songwriting chops".[212] Sherman Yang of MSN deemed the tracks of Hello My Name Is... "catchy" but felt "Mendler either needs to find some inspiration to write better songs or cover other artists' works because her songs sound the same after a while."[213] Her second extended play Nemesis was reviewed positively by Ailbhe Malone of The Irish Times, who believed Mendler was "back and trendy," and described it as "delicate and interesting but still vibey. Welcome to grown-up pop, Bridge – we're happy to have you."[214] Andrea Domanick of Vice agreed, believing that with Nemesis, Mendler "heeds honesty over any kind of carefully crafted post-Disney identity."[215]

Mender's shift to business and entrepreneurship has been cited as one of the few examples of a successful career reinvention.[216][217][218] Sarah Bregel of BBC wrote: "as a woman in science who changed career paths to pursue her dream, Mendler may likely inspire other women to make timely career pivots."[219] Katie Louise Smith of Capital praised Mendler's "incredible career path",[220] and Lynette Rice of Deadline said Mendler had "quite the career trajectory for a former Mouse House darling".[221]

Personal life

From May 2011 to November 2015, Mendler dated long time friend and former co-star Shane Harper.[222][223][224][225][226] In October 2019, Mendler announced via Instagram that she had married Griffin Cleverly.[227] In February 2024, Mendler announced that she became the mother of a 4-year-old boy, whom she had begun fostering in 2021 and adopted around Christmas 2022.[228]
