As a child, Sanda sang in various choirs and groups. Near the age of 10 she began to study music and learned piano, classical guitar and singing. Since she was born into a family of teachers, she pursued studies in education. However, she gave up her teaching career almost as soon as she graduated from Târgu Mureș. She moved to Bucharest to follow her dream of becoming a professional singer, while also studying law at the city's Titu Maiorescu University.[citation needed]
She has performed duets with Romanian stars such as Marcel Pavel, Ștefan Iordache, Ioan Gyuri Pascu, and Aurelian Temișan. She has performed at many concerts across Romania and at a great number of summer festivals abroad. She has released five albums to date and toured worldwide. She released her fifth album Khalini in 2006, which includes the song "I Admit". With "I Admit", she won in 2004 the Romanian National Selection for the Eurovision Song Contest at Istanbul. In the international finals, she came in 18th.[citation needed]
Sanda was also chosen to dub Mulan in the series Sofia the First.[1]
