[edit] Biography

Daughter of a pastor passionate about music, Sandrine began very early to play religious music to assemblies. Her family moved from Sydney to New Zealand when she was six to create a travelling Christian music group called The Cornerstone family. There, she played omnichord for several years and sang in churches.^[1]

But at fifteen years, she decided to leave the family home to live in a caravan in the garden, and she became a waitress in a bar.^[1] There, she discovered other styles of music and immediately began writing songs for her guitar. Then she moved to Sydney to an area populated by prostitutes and heroin addicts where she wrote her first album Trigger.^[2] Produced by her then boyfriend David Skeet for Sony Music Australia in 2004, it found success in Australia, where the song Trigger reached the top 30, and despite gaining excellent reviews it was not given international distribution .^[2]

Then she went to the United States where she completed the composition of her second album, Dark fades into the light, produced by Malcolm Burn (who she later married) and recorded in his studio of Woodstock, New York. One of her songs, Where do we go, received important coverage in France through its use in a television advertisement by the French retailer Fnac.^[1]
