If ever one artist could sweep across the best of musical genres, plucking inspiration from all of the greats, she would be known as Sandra Small. Sandra was born in Naples, Italy born from an Italian mother and African American father. She carries a classic rock-funk-soul sound as deep and as wide as her varied experiences and is consistently compared to greats like Betty Wright, Erykah Badu, Lenny Kravitz Prince and Sade. Sandra is currently in the studio working on her next album scheduled for release in early next year. This album is a follow-up to the nine-song EP, ?gWorld Gone Crazy,?h released in 2006. Here Sandra sings about struggle, hope and freedom, but with a focus on ?gRebirth?h. It is a story of soul searching and resolution, release and inspiration with genuine poetic lyricism. The Small World Band is itself an infusion of genres, with talent history covering every era and flavor of contemporary classic funk, jazz and rock music. Band members have played with Luther Vandross, Angie Stone, Keith Sweat, and Chaka Khan. The band?\aside from Sandra?fs vocals and acoustic guitar?\includes Piano-Organist Jamal Peoples, Drummer & Bassist Larry Peoples Sr., Lead Guitarist Mike Campbell and Cecil Hodge also on the keys. Performing for her family and friends since she could walk, Sandra began to take her talent seriously at thirteen and hired a private teacher. She was immersed in the great music of acts like James Brown, Chubby Checker, Sade, Mozart, Prince, Michael Jac

U never know The course that life will take u on When u least expect it SUPRISE, ur livin it I took action on an opportunity And it brought me to Bangkok, Thailand I have played music for children and the elders in developing villages And have experienced life in a whole new perspective As I write, I still breathe the Thai air Itfs Hot and Muggy Still very lovely So music can break language barriers This a fact I now know Music is indeed universal It speaks in every language It breaks shit down To ABCfs and 123fs Itfs the simple things That can bring so much joy Music is a soul mans toy Music speaks through a melody and a vibe And the music never lies My trip 2 Thailand Open my eyes And revealed another universal piece of the pie

Hello Beautiful People!! So, I did something I've never done b4. I wrote a song for a game called "Bambooga" by Uncle Skunkle Toys, Inc. It's a human puzzle game. Something like the game Twister - some info on it below in the press release. I co-wrote with Tony Sims, a talented songwriter. Me and Jamal Peoples will be performing the song this Sunday @ The Jacob Javitz this Sunday. www.javitscenter.com Check it out.........
