A professional singer since 1986, Kasandra truly knows how to capture an audience. A gifted performer, her dynamic range and soulful stylings are always deeply felt and authentic whether she's crooning French classics at Twin Palms; swinging standards at the Wrigley Mansion Millennium Celebration or feeling good singing James Brown. The audience can't help but become a part of the performance as she shares her talent with passion, playfulness and a genuine love of people and life.

Recently returning from a year in Vienna, Austria, Kasandra was the in-house entertainment at all corporate events for The Siemens Group, one of Europe's largest corporations. Her first performance in Europe was the Grand Opening Celebration of the Kursalon-Heubner - a beautifully restored health spa - transformed into an amazing event venue. Because of this performance, she was invited to sing at the birthday celebration of the Mayor of Vienna, where she received a standing ovation after returning to the stage for an encore. At the Romy Awards (the Viennese equivalent of the Oscar's) the band members informed her that the elegant gentleman waving at her from the dance floor was one of the most famous actors in Germany. Traveling only confirmed her belief that people are the same wherever you go and music is still the universal language.


Before returning home to Los Angeles, she recorded a collection of Christmas classics with Joe Meixner on piano, entitled Wintermezzo. She is currently in production on a new CD, which will include her original material along with some very hip new interpretations on classic tunes in jazz, blues and rock. Bringing old songs to a new generation is part of her goal.





Her most recent project was a cabaret-style musical/comedy called "Queen of Clubs", written by herself and Caroline Waters - another amazingly talented singer/songwriter/musician. It was inspired by all the hilarious conversations they had about life, love and the pursuit of the perfect hairdo! They received an outstanding review from Metro L.A. and had a wonderful time during their 5-week run at Masquer's Cabaret and Dinner Theater. She has since taken that cabaret experience and incorporated it into her solo performances. Entertaining at some of the most beautiful private homes and parties in L.A.
