Sandy started playing music when she was old enough to lift the lid on the piano and pick out tunes by ear. In 1996, she started playing upright bass. She's been playing professionally since 1998.

In the spring of 1994, she wrote her first song. In the fall of 1994, she was a finalist in the Walnut Valley Songwriters / Composers' Showcase with her second song, "Cabin on the Prairie". She was a finalist again in 1997 with "Apache Plume". She also co-wrote a collection of scary songs for children, with Patrick Bone Patrick Bone: Bands, Singers, Songwriters / Composers, Solo Performers, Sidemen, Instrumentalists, Performers, Entertainers, Musicians, a Scholastic Book author. In the summer of 2008, she co-taught a songwriting course, "Hook Rhyme and Singer," with Christy Wessler Christy Wessler: Bands, Singers, Songwriters / Composers, Solo Performers, Sidemen, Instrumentalists, Performers, Entertainers, Musicians at Swallow Hill. Her songs are featured on Colorado Sandstorm Music Publishing. Colorado Sandstorm Music Publishing: : Places to Hear Acoustic Music, Locations, Venues, Clubs, Festivals, Music Promoters

Sandy played bass in a number of bands and for a number of performers. She was the "bass wench" of the Colorado Renaissance Festival from 1999 through 2004. She has "retired" to concentrate on her songwriting.

Although she can be heard on over 15 CDs, her latest CD, "I Wanted to Fly," is the one that makes her proudest. She wrote half the songs and co-wrote the other half with Founders: Bands, Singers, Songwriters, Solo Performers, Sidemen, Instrumentalists, Performers, Entertainers, Musicians, Places to Hear Acoustic Music, Locations, Venues, Clubs, Festivals, Business and Services Supporting Acoustic Music, Music Stores, Musical Instruments, Music Teachers Ernie Martinez Ernie Martinez: Bands, Singers, Songwriters, Solo Performers, Sidemen, Instrumentalists, Performers, Entertainers, Musicians, J.J.
