Sandra Bell


Born in a “redundant gold mining town on the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand,” Sandra Bell began writing and playing music in her early teens.

“We shifted to an isolated pine forest, central North Island, 16 miles from the nearest shop, the isolation meant I had a lot of time to dream and create.”
