Sandhja

Sandhja, an uprising new star, is a 22 year old half Finnish, half Indian woman – a mix of the north and east. She composes and writes her lyrics. She wants to be free to say what she truly feels and hopes to arouse emotions in her listeners. Sincerity is the keystone of her music. Roots of Sandhja’s music springs from her mother’s side, from Guyana, South-America. Her grandmother from two generations ago was a locally known singer who sang in weddings and funerals. Singing was a way of releasing the pains of her hard life. Her parents were forced by the British to leave their homeland India to work in the sugarcane fields in South America; Sandhja’s great grandmother was born in the ship leaving from India to Guyana. As an artist Sandhja sees herself as her great grandmother’s successor, as an interpreter of deep emotions believing in the empowering and healing nature of music. Read more on Last.fm.
