Award-winning songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Sandra-Mae Lux was singing almost before she was walking.  Even at a young age, Sandra-Mae had an ear for melody and was already penning songs by the time she was 10.

Completing her academic training at Capilano University British Columbia, Sandra-Mae graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies on Saxophone. She received multiple awards such as the Phil Nimmons Scholarship for Outstanding Achievement in Jazz, and was spotted as a stand-out Top 30 Under 30 in a Vancouver newspaper. She has performed twice at the Ottawa Jazz Festival where she shared a stage and performed with many recognized artists such as Robert Glasper, Herbie Hancock and opened for Dave Brubeck in one of his last performances. 

Never one to look back, Sandra-Mae relocated to London, UK in 2017 to hone her songwriting craft, and to record and release her debut album “Happily Ever Now” in 2020.  

An instant classic, this album contained the stand-out numbers “I’m Still Here”, “Moment in the Sun” and “Do U Wanna.”

The dreamy groove of “I’m Still Here” caught the attention of Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 6) and built a loyal fanbase among Rare-Groove and Soul DJ’s and aficionados.  "Moment In The Sun" caught the attention of Craig Charles and was played multiple times on his show on BBC Radio 2.  She received hundreds of plays on many of the BBC regional stations.

Christmas 2020 saw the release of her classic christmas ballad “Where is Christmas Now” and in 2021, the release of “You Me and Tomorrow” made it to #3 on the UK Soul Chart.

By popular demand, “I’m Still Here” was pressed onto the A side of a 7” vinyl, with a new track “The Last Time” on the AA side which was released in 2022.

She has received multiple songwriting awards for her releases, including the UK Songwriting Contest, John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and was a runner-up in the World Songwriting Awards. She was also nominated as Best UK Artist in the 2020 Bright Star Awards, humbly losing to UK music legend Omar.

Sandra-Mae is also an acting and voice acting performer of note, appearing in multiple roles as part of the cast of Audible's “Aliens – Sea of Sorrows” and Neil Gaiman's “Sandman” audio dramas performing alongside James McAvoy, Andy Serkis, John Lithgow, Michael Sheen and more. The Sandman made it to #1 on the New York Times Best Seller’s List. 

She will be releasing a new album in the spring of 2025, so stay tuned!
