| Biography:
K'SANDRA has found her audience by helping them get
lost. Lost in the music the way listeners
used to get lost in Jimi Hendrix and Janis
Joplin songs.
"I admire how they found a groove to
put themselves into a trance, losing track
of all space and time around them,"
K'SANDRA says.
Her inspiration came when she decided to
put that rock feel together with dance.
In her music, unstoppable beats combine with
a rock'n'roll sensibility in a way
that takes listeners on a journey that pulls
them into the moment and keeps them there.
The music sneaks into your ears at the same
time it moves up from your feet, and meets
in the middle. The result is pure K'SANDRA
- music for the mind, body and heart.
She's not all about happy feet.
There is a sadness, a depth in her music
that tinges the celebration with longing.
Her music embraces the full experience of
being human - the happy and the sad, the
joyful and the melancholy, the stillness
of peace and the restless movement of the
body compelled by a relentless beat. It's
the kind of music you relate to more than
listen to. "It is all about the
magic that is left in people's memories
once you are gone and your music lives on,"
she says.
All these paradoxes are captured in her new
album "Light'n'Dark".
Think Lady Gaga meets the Doors. Think
Kiss meets Kylie Minogue. Think about
the appeal of pop and dance with a rock'n'roll
heart. Her titles include "Finger
on the Trigger", "Gossip"
and "Push the Girl". And
to prove she's not just a Gaga-come-lately,
her album will include her spoken-word poetry.
This is a true artist, not a mere flash in
the pan.
She comes from a background of discipline
and commitment, qualities she developed while
studying at a classical conservatory.
She studied music, singing and ballet, all
the while developing her punk rock and rave
personal style. The battle between
the sublime and the sultry meant that she
would inevitably leave the classical world
for the club world, but the two influences
join together immaculately in "Light'n'Dark".
She is a disciplined rebel.
K'SANDRA is building bridges between
genres and, judging by her international
fan base, also between countries. She
is building a career that promises to smash
through the barriers of radio formats, the
boundaries of style, and the expectations
of the restless modern listener.
"Light'n'Dark" features
tracks written by a Natasha Bedingfield/
Beyonce/ Keri Hilson writer and a Slash/Fergie
producer as well as producers that worked
with Snoop Dogg and Usher. But don't
forget her strongest influence: K'SANDRA
herself. She is a one-woman dynamo,
artist and entrepreneur. There is only
one word that describes her.
