Biography

Born in the Blue Mountains near Sydney in Australia, Sandrine was singing and performing from an early age with her musical family. The love of music never left her and by her teens she was writing her own songs on both piano and guitar. Signed to Sony Australia in 2003, she released her debut album, Trigger, in the spring of 2004. The album’s title track was the first single and reached the Top 20 of the Australian charts. Encouraged by this success, she decided to move to the US and record her second album with producer Malcolm Burn, known for his work with Daniel Lanois, Bob Dylan Emmylou Harris, Chris Whitley and many others. Inspired by the beautiful setting of Burn’s studio outside of Woodstock, NY, Sandrine wrote and recorded her sublime second album, Dark Fades Into Light. Feeling like she’d found her musical home, she decided to stay in the states. Dark Fades Into The Light was released by Nettwerk in 2008 and became an instant success in France with the hit single “Where Do We Go”. Her music became even more well known in Europe and the US thru the placement of her songs in numerous movies, television shows and commercials. Sandrine is currently working on recording her new album, tentatively titled “Circles”, again with Malcolm Burn producing and will be performing shows in the New York City area throughout the summer of 2009
