Sandy Green (born 18 June 1987), known professionally as Sandy, is an English singer and songwriter from Croydon, Surrey.
Background
Sandy’s interest in music began at an early age. Growing up with a father who was an avid music fan, Sandy became influenced by his rich and eclectic music collection. At the age of 12 Sandy formed a vocal group with two friends, called Xposia. Sandy was the lead singer and together the girls wrote and performed their music, performing at local venues. Sandy learnt to play the piano and continued her songwriting. After completing her GCSE’s, Sandy attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, Surrey.
It was at this time that Sandy focused on her songwriting and performing skills with a view to releasing her music to the general public.[1]
