Written by WOW! Radio on November 15, 2021
Sandra Grace is a singer and songwriter, born in Ukraine on May 18, 1998. She grew up in a small depressive Ukrainian city, Zdolbuniv. She began writing songs when she was 13.
Sandra moved to Oregon, USA for a student exchange program in 2014 and there was her first recording experience. Sandra began performing in an American High School and even got a chance to perform an American Anthem at one of the basketball games.
While in the United States, Sandra had reached out to several Record Labels and Management Companies such as SB Projects, UTA, Def Jam Recordings, etc. She had been discussing signing a contract with one of the management companies but her parents declined because they wanted Sandra to come back to Ukraine. Sandra says she is happy she did not signed back then, because of the now declining reputation of the management company.
During 2016-2017 she tried to work with different Ukrainian producers and released some songs under the name of Sandra Ventura.
In 2019, due to an incredible coincidence, she started to work with her current producer Mykola Basyuk.
Her debut single ‘Hotel’ was released worldwide on October 25, 2019 along with the music video. The following year, Sandra Grace released one more single ‘Low’ on December 3, and her first EP called ‘A Gift For Christmas’ which contains 3 Christmas songs, on December 19.
“Under The Mistletoe” won a Grand Prize in the contest “Holiday Song of 2019” at one the biggest radio platforms online – RadioAirPlay.com
Stepping into a new year, Sandra Grace has released her new single “Slow” on February 13, 2020. The song received a lot of good feedback from the fans and the R&B lovers. “Slow” reminded the fans of The Weeknd’s vibe. It has a very intimate vibe as Sandra Grace started to experiment with her sound.
Later in 2020, songs ‘I Tried’” and ‘Sleep on my own’ were released. In 2020 during lock down, Sandra released her live EP from a performance at the Finsperry online festival.
In 2021, Sandra Grace devoted her time to self-development in music. It was a good time to experiment with the sound and create an exclusive look that shows the real Sandra and her music. So, the next release “Got 2B Famous” is really different. In Sandra’s words, “it’s a kind of bridge to a completely new Sandra’s image”.
‘Got 2B Famous’ is dedicated to American singer Charlie Puth and it’s about a girl who has a crush on a him and badly wants to meet him in person.
Sandra sings about an ordinary girl who tries to get famous so that she can get noticed by the singer. It tells a story of how in a girl’s mind they could make a cute couple, so she’s doing everything to let him know how she feels.
The track is light and positive.
‘Got 2B Famous’ was released on November 5th, 2021.
