Sandy is one of the best and brightest humans I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Great to work with, professional, and punctual. Not only a brilliant and talented singer/songwriter she is a gifted comedy writer with a wicked sense of humor.

Have had the pleasure of working with Sandy. I found that what made working with her great was her vision, work ethic and communication with my artists. Would highly reccomend working with her!
by Tone Gold
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sandy on a variety of projects dating back to 2015. Her talent is undeniable but what’s even more remarkable is her work ethic and attention to detail from conception to completion. She is the missing link to your next great song.
by N'Deye
Sandy is amazing to work with. She comes from a place of knowlege and artistry. I am amazed at what comes to fruition when working with her. Her voice is one of a kind and her writing among the best, I'm looking forward to our next project!
by Stoops
I’m a firm believer that writers rule the world. The only thing more powerful than writing the next hot top line is being able to sing it yourself. I can’t, which is why I always have room in the studio for Sandy. Her voice is so unique to say the least, and her ear for melodies and harmonies is first class.
