An open-hearted performer with an incredible voice
Born in Naples, Italy to an Italian mother and African American father, Sandra carries a sound as deep, and as wide as her varied experiences. She is consistently compared to greats and musical icons like Erykah Badu, Anita Baker, Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Sade and many more.
“The goal of my music is to express an experience, a moment, a feeling, a place and time,” Sandra says. “I want to tell a story, to encourage, uplift, inspire, bring pleasure and to piece together a series of collages of all that I am and feel as an artist.”
Sandra began playing the guitar when she was thirteen years old and soon wrote her first song. It was an experience of expression that began to define the unique sound and keen perspective that fans have come to love and appreciate in Sandra’s music.
Whether on acoustic or electric, her guitar work is deftly funky. She’s also taken a deep dive into live looping and using electronics to compliment her sound.
She can also work with other musicians to form duos and trios. We love her combinations with Percussion, Saxophone, and Bass Guitar.
Above all, Sandra is a performer that loves to connect with people in the moment. Her covers repertoire is informed by years of experience playing music for all sorts of audiences and venues.
