1. What inspired your passion for music and who has been there supporting you from the beginning?
Since a very young age, I always had the most fun performing in school plays, singing and making costumes and getting dressed up and becoming another character. I expressed very early on my emotions thru singing and songwriting instead of just talking about myself or my problems. I was never a very good talker and swallowed a lot of pain, but through music found a way to process all my emotions. Music has been a passion and healer for me all my life. All I ever wanted to do is become a singer and performer. Music to me is another form of language, just like speaking Spanish, French or any other language. At first, my parents supported me when I was still in school, but as soon as I entered the “working” age they naturally wanted me to get a prestige and serious job, and stopped any support towards my musical education. I pretty much supported myself all alone. - Creative Spotlight

K’SANDRA is a pop artist ready to conquer Ibiza. She is a pop artist who has a rock & roll heart. She shares the soul of some of her LA rock heroes like Jimi Hendrix and The Doors – artists who touched people through the sheer honesty of their music. Then she takes it up a notch by blending in the latest synthesizers and irresistible dancefloor beats. 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. - Ibiza Inside

Her latest album, “Light ‘n’ Dark” features collaborators from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Fergie, Slash and Beyonce. It is one of the great pop albums of the year, but is also an album that rewards more serious connoisseurs of music.
The album combines K’SANDRA’s natural rock tendencies with her instinctive understanding of dance music, her love of rhythm and her incomparable way with a lyric. There is even some of her original poetry thrown in. In every respect, K’SANDRA is the archetype of the renaissance woman: name it, she can almost certainly do it.
The album – surely the pinnacle of an already successful career – comes on the back of chart-topping dance smash “Finger on the Trigger”. That tune has been making waves on radio and dance floors across the country, and has woken people up to a star in the making.
The release of ‘Light ‘n’ Dark’ is sure to shore up K’SANDRA’s name as one to watch.
She describes her musical upbringing as ‘the battle between the sublime and the sultry.’ And that sounds almost like K’SANDRA’s style. There is beautiful music on this album alongside infectious dark rhythms. It is the sensuality of the dancefloor meeting the insularity of the headphones.
In short, it is an album that is more than the sum of its parts from an artist who is going places. Do not miss this one - news by TMC

Make no mistake; K'SANDRA is a pop artist and recently merged into a DJ Duo She is a pop artist who has a rock & roll dancing heart. She shares the soul of some of her LA rock heroes like Jimi Hendrix and The Doors - artists who touched people through the sheer honesty of their music. Then she takes it up a notch by blending in the latest synthesizers and irresistible dancefloor beats. 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.
When she performs live, she's one half pop diva, dancers and all, and one half rock maven, strutting across the stage backed up by a full band.
K'SANDRA comes from a background of discipline and commitment, qualities she developed while studying at a classical Conservatory. She studied classical music, singing and ballet, all the while developing her punk rock rave personal style.
The battle between the sublime and the sultry meant that she would inevitably leave the classical world for the club world, appearing on stages across Europe and Ibiza with groups like Prodigy and Right Said Fred, and laying vocal tracks for a Lou Pearlman girl group project which at one point topped the European charts.
All these influences join together immaculately in her new album "Light'n'Dark", which features collaborators from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Fergie, Beyonce, and Slash. It is not only "one of the great pop albums of the year" ("What's Hot in Electronic Music", Emerging Magazine), but is also an album that rewards more serious connoisseurs of music. It has earned her two nominations at the LA Music Awards, including Dance Artist of the Year and Pop Single of the Year for "Finger on the Trigger", a tune has been making waves on radio and dance floors across the country, and has woken people up to a star in the making. SPIN Magazine called it "one of the top 50 songs in America".
Other recent accolades include being named Artist of the Year by the Starliners Radio Network in the Netherlands, the Gold Award for the most-requested single from RGW Radio Network in the UK, and being voted Artist of the Month twice by the listeners of Black Rose Radio in the US (an award previously given to Lady Gaga and Adele). The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences recently accepted her as a Grammy voting member.
"Light'n'Dark" is K'SANDRA's first full album. 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. There is beautiful music on this album alongside infectious dark rhythms. It is the sensuality of the the dancefloor meeting the insularity of the headphones.
K'SANDRA is building bridges between genres and, judging by her international fan base, also between countries. She is a one-woman dynamo, artist and entrepreneur. There is only one word that describes her
KSANDRA.
