Sandra  Marie-Llewellyn Brooks was born in the small community of Whitfield  Town, Kingston, Jamaica, the third child of Armarnel Wint and Rodolf  Llewellyn. She lived with her mother, sisters and brother in the  community for most of her young adult life.

• Sandra     attended Rousseau Primary School, Norman Manley
• Comprehensive     High School and
• Comperdown High     School.

One  of the most significant impacts on Sandra’s development was when she  began to attend Sunday School at Life Tabernacle Church at 33 Pretoria  Road, Kingston 13. It was at Life Tabernacle that the melody in her  voice was recognized and appreciated. Sandra soon found herself as part  of the Church Sunday School Choir.

In  1982, Sandra decided to make Jesus her choice and although knowing that  the road would be rough and the going can get tough, she realized that  the Lord had called her talent to win souls so she freely answered the  call.

During  her tenure at Camperdown High School, Sandra was encouraged to enter  the Annual Teen Star Search Competition where she was placed among the  top three (3) contestants.

Seeing  the oozing talent that existed in this prodigy, Noel Willis-Manager  owner of the Grace Thrillers (the leading Gospel Group in Jamaica, and  possible the Caribbean at the time) decided to recruit the budding  singer. Her four (4) years with the Grace Thrillers saw her recording  as lead singer on songs such as “Crown     Him” and “As     in The Days of Noah”. 

In  1992, the Lord led Sandra to pursue her solo ministry, which is growing  from strength to strength. In 1994, she launched her album “Don’t Worry”, which topped the gospel charts in Jamaica and parts of the     Caribbean.

God  has and still is rewarding Sandra for her “labour of love”, and has  opened the way for her to receive several nominations for the Jamaica  Music Awards and also the Binns and Rockers Award. In 1998, Sandra  received the Jamaica Federation of Music Award of Excellence and to cap  it all, the people of the Bahamas have nominated her in three  categories at the Caribbean Marlin Music Award. These categories are:

• Outstanding Caribbean Female     Vocal Performance
• Outstanding     Caribbean Calypso Recording of the Year
• Outstanding     Caribbean song of the year

Apart  from the help of God Sandra has almost single handedly manage, produce  and promote   herself both locally and internationally and has done a  good job of it. She has produced shows in St. Kitts and Nevis, Cayman  and Anquilla, most of which have been successful.

Sandra,  like Paul, knows how to become all things to all men so that she might  win some to Christ. This is exemplified by the fact that her ministry  has transcended all barriers of race, class, or denomination. You will  find her administering in the ghettos of Kingston or on the lawns of  kings house.

Sandra     an ordained Evangelist, in her home church at Life Tabernacle, has finished     her second album entitled “The     Answer”.  This has surpassed the sales of the first album and has been on the  Gospel Chart since it’s launch in May 1998. Sandra’s steps are truly  ordered by the Lord. She has gained recognition world wide and has  graced the stage with well known Artistes such as; Shirley Caesar, Traimane  Hawkins, Phil &Brenda Nicholas, Bill and Sarah Grains, Rev. F.C.  Barnes, Richard Smallwood, Gods Property and Skeeta Davis. 

During     the past two (2) years, the Lord has led her to aid people in other ways     .She has started the Evangelist Sandra Brooks     Academy of Gospel Music,  where individuals can learn to play numerous musical instruments and  also to hone singing skills. The Academy also provides digital  recording studio and sound reinforcement equipment for concerts and  church functions. Truly Sandra Marie Brooks has found the answer down  on her knees. She knows that God has more doors to open for her as she  continues to make Jesus her choice.
