I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH! to all the people that already bought my album. I am so glad about your comments and I hope you will like too the next Album that I am writing now. Thank you very much, you all are an awesome musicians' supporters!
Hello and Welcome, first of all... I am a multi-instrumentalist musician who loves to play drums, for sure is the best can I do... Pleased to meet you, my name is Julisa Sandra Marquez but my friends call me just: Sandra.
I was born in Lima on December 6, into a very music-oriented family, thanks them I knew the music's world at my early ages and started to play drums with my brothers' band at the age of 15 (maybe 14), having my first live performance when I was 16 years old. Then, I played in other bands or supporting different artists. But I left the music world for some years, I got a college degree in "Business Administration" and tried to find a place into the "well tuned world" but something on my soul told me all the time I must to find the way back the music world. When I came to America, October 2003 finally, I found the way back to my passion and I became a drummer on "Michelle Riu Band".
After that experience I played on many bands doing live performances or professional recordings, great people like Justin Lerner, The Steady Rolling Band, Aeval, Brujas, 99 Miles From Nowhere, Frank Allegro, Andre Kerek, Huma Rojo and more, but at the same time I started my project, music writen by me, my personal musical Journey, a Progressive Rock Band called "Sandra's Project".
I wrote and recorded the music on the first two albums and I found a really extraordinary musicians to help me to record; musicians like Mike Pospesel, he is a very good friend and an awesome musician, he helped me to record some keyboard lines, also he wrote and performed an entire piece on Whales (Deep On The Ocean). By the other hand, my friend and Guitar player Hernando Vazquez, he is by far the best guitar player that I played with (and I played with several good guitar players) just listen the music and you'll see... finally my friend Clark Ellison joined the project and helped me on the last two bass lines on the album, I have to tell that I would like to recorded more tunes with Clark, we'll have to do it (I hope) because we are band mates on "Brujas"... all of them gave me their talent and I have no words to say thank you guys, you are awesome musicians... and thanks to lots of my friends that helped me in different ways to finish "Whales". I recording the second "Sandra's Project" album... it will be a little bit more ambition than the first one.... I already asked for help, of course I talked with my friends Mike, Hernando and Clark... but now I'll include some other talents that I am sure will help me to do a great job... The second album will called "Tales About Demons & Angels", it will be different than "whales" because this album it will have lyrics... .

Time to time... I'm still working with cover bands as a backup musician. I am happy because that's give me the chance to work with different people and music styles, I am lerning a lot and I love it... so, if you need to replace your drummer for a gig, just let me know!. I played in several venues around South Florida, places like: Hard Rock, Tobbaco Road, Churchills Bar, PS14, Bougainvillea's, Mr. Moes, Little Hoolies, White Room, Wallflower, Boardwalk, Chechos' Bar, Jazid, The Office, Fritz and Franz, Finnegans, Some Starbucks Coffe Special events, and some other places... also I am working on big shows production, not as a musician, doing stagehand jobs and backline, and I really enjoy it. I am very lucky to worked for amazing artists like Rush, Foo Fighters, Boston, Jethro Tull, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Andrea Bocelli, Rod Stewart, Van Halen, Barry Manilow, Dierks Bentley, R Kelly, Lil Wayne, George Michael, Celine Dion, The Eagles, Britney Spears, Chris Brown, Billy Joel, Tom Petty, The Blue Man Group, Styx, Def Leppard, Reo Speedwagon, Jon Bon Jovi, also on shows like Disney On Ice, Billboards, Premio Lo Nuestro, Sony Ericsson Cup 2008 and some others great artists or big events...
