The singer songwriter has already played live on BBC Radio Manchester and supported multi-million selling US artist Montell Jordan at the Carling Academy in Islington.

She said: "I write, sing and co produce all my songs, so most of my songs actually have a meaning behind them and I think a lot of the things I sing about are topics and feelings that other people can relate to."

Sandhya will be performing at Summer Fiesta in Great Yarmouth on 10th June and at Birmingham Eid Mela on 16th July
