[edit] Background

Sandy’s interest in music began at an early age. Growing up with a father who was an avid music fan, Sandy became influenced by his rich and eclectic music collection. Determined to forge a music career for herself, at the age of 12 Sandy formed a vocal group with two friends. This group was called Xposia. Sandy was the lead singer and together the girls wrote and performed their music, performing at local venues. Sandy learnt to play the piano and continued her songwriting. After completing her GCSE’s, Sandy attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, Surrey. It was at this time that Sandy focused on her songwriting and performing skills with a view to releasing her music to the general public.[1]

[edit] Music career

Sandy’s debut single release was released through independent record label Sandy Music in February 2007. The release was released solely on digital download. The A-side, "So into You" (Radio Edit), is an uptempo R&B track. A video for the song was released and received airplay across Europe and on selected outlets in the United Kingdom. The video, directed by Anthony Thomas, featured Sandy playing the ultimate talent show judge of a dance contest ruthlessly eliminating contestants that don’t meet her requirement.

The B-side to the single featured a rap from Silvastone - a producer, songwriter and DJ. Sandy's second single, "You and Me", was released on July 23, 2007 on digital download only, again through the Sandy Music label. ‘You and Me’ received a positive response and Sandy’s debut album was released soon after on August 6th 2007. The album is titled ‘Affairs of the Heart’, and includes many of the tracks she had been performing on her live appearances. Featured guests on the album include Flawless (formerly of Big Brovaz), Chunks and Silvastone. Sandy is the chief songwriter of the ‘Affairs of the Heart’ album and is Executive Producer, with Silvastone as Producer. Sandy has performed at the Birmingham Carnival, the Under One Sky Festival, Cambridge Big Weekend, the Bedford and the 2CR Radio Awards. She has been interviewed on outlets that include BEN TV, BBC Radio London, Colourful Radio, South London Press, The Voice, Croydon Advertiser, BBC Three Counties Radio, Passion TV.
