Biography

Australian singer/songwriter Sandrine first performed for the members of her minister father's church congregation when she was a child. When she was six, the family relocated from the Sydney area to New Zealand and became a traveling Christian music group called the Cornerstone Family. By the time she was 15, Sandrine decided she wanted more independence and left the family home to live in a trailer in the backyard. While she was working as a waitress, restaurant patrons introduced her to secular music -- until that time, she hadn't been able to listen to it -- with one of them presenting her a copy of the Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers. Inspired, she began writing songs and left home soon after, picking up a guitar (due to its portability) along the way. After settling in Sydney, she wrote her first album, Trigger, which was released in 2003. Her work caught the attention of music labels in the United States, as well as that of Kiss star Gene Simmons, who insisted on meeting Sandrine when he was in town. However, she soon grew frustrated with media coverage that portrayed her as a manufactured pop star and decided that her second album would be produced outside Australia. After sending demos to a number of American producers, she decided that Malcolm Burn would be the person best suited for the job. The two worked on material for the album at Burn's residential studio near Woodstock, NY. Dark Fades into the Light, Sandrine's second album and her U.S. debut, was released in 2006. ~ Katherine Fulton, All Music Guide

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
