DJ Sandra D Bio

Biography

Sandra has done a lot in her DJ career so far. When it comes to indie she had the top residencies at London's legendary POPSTARZ at Scala in King's Cross back in the early 2000's. Britpop was massive and POPSTARZ was London's first, gay, indie night to launch on a massive scale - with over 1,000 LGBTQ clubbers and their friends, dancing alongside Brian Molko, Alexander McQueen, Noel Gallagher, Chloë Sevigny and more every Friday night.

She later took over MISS-SHAPES when then famous Soho Night spot GHETTO, she gambled on a mix of indie, pop and R&B to fill the Thursday nights - and it was a huge success. The clientele loved it as around 400 clubbers would be there religiously.

She created another club, DJing and promoting RUBY TUESDAYS, which was the most successful, weekly queer women's night in London, lasting over a decade. Sandra was also the Promoter of CANDY BAR in Soho. When Candy Bar Girls landed on Channel 5 in 2011, Sandra was one of the favourite characters in the show. The then famous girls bar was the backdrop to the "lives and loves of London Lesbians". Of her time, she recalled "It was a crazy few months of my life I remember fondly. The partying, the DJing and a distinct lack of sleep... if you watched the show, you'll know it was none stop!"

The girls landed the cover of Diva Magazine. Little did they know that it was to be a nude shoot! "Can you imagine us all arriving and being given that news? Put it this way, there could have been a blank cover if we'd had known in advance."

So after 2 successful years of championing all things CANDY BAR, Sandra left to put on bigger nights, booking acts such as

PEACHES, MS DYNAMITE & CHARLI XCX.

Sandra moved Up North, going back to her roots, now doing select nights and heading queer orientated festivals, such as Unity Fest, Out Out and also making appearances at Rewind Festival.

In MANCHESTER, she's behind the decks again, showing off her mixing and energy at MANCHESTER PRIDE and SPARKLE gigs showed her stamina in dancing and mixing at BUTCH REVIVAL, STRETFORD WIVES CLUB, BAR POP, TRIBECA and ON BAR. Now she's being booked for London club nights and more around the country, as well as festivals over the summer.
