About Sanda Ladoşi

Sanda Ladoşi (born 2 January 1970) is a Romanian singer.

As a child, Sanda sang in various choirs and groups, but began studying music when she was around 10-years-old learning Piano, classical Guitar and singing.

But having been born into a family of teachers, it seemed natural Sanda would also go into education. However, Sanda gave up her teaching career almost as soon as she graduated from the Târgu Mureş Teaching High School after winning Romania's Mamaia Pop Festival. Moving to Bucharest to follow her dream of becoming a professional singer, she also studied Law at the city's Titu Maiorescu University.

Sanda has worked with several well-known composers in Romania such as Eugen Mihăescu, Marcel Dragomir, Ionel Tudor, Cornel Meraru, Mihai Constantinescu, Alexandru Simu, Raimond Vancu, George Popa and Dan Iagnov. Iagnov has composed more than 50 songs for Sanda during her career.

Sanda has never let her fans down. Whether singing alone or duetting with Romanian stars like Marcel Pavel, Ştefan Iordache, Ioan Gyuri Pascu or Aurelian Temişan, Sanda always enchants her audience with her voice. She has performed at numerous concerts across "Romania" and at numerous summer festivals abroad.

Sanda has released five albums and has toured worldwide. She released her fifth album "Khalini" in 2006.

From the second grade till the end of the high school, Sanda played basketball and during high school she represented her school in the swimming national competitions. Now she practices tae-bo to keep herself in shape.
