Sandra St. Victor: Eleven Chapters In – And Still Moving Forward

Sandra St. Victor has never been an artist easily confined by genre or expectation.

First widely recognised as the formidable lead voice of The Family Stand, St. Victor emerged as part of a generation that stretched the boundaries between soul, funk, rock and R&B. Over the decades that followed, she established herself not only as a distinctive vocalist, but as a songwriter and solo artist with an uncompromising musical identity of her own.

Her career has also brought her into the orbit of some remarkable names in music, including Prince, Chaka Khan, Roy Ayers and Freddie Jackson, while her work with The Family Stand remains an important chapter in progressive soul and R&B.

Now Sandra St. Victor enters another chapter with Eleven, her eleventh studio album.

The record provides the starting point for this new Soulinterviews.com conversation, but not its boundaries. Sandra talks about the making of Eleven, the experiences behind the songs and the creative process that continues to drive her. She also reflects on her African roots, identity and a career built on following her own instincts rather than simply following the industry.

It is a conversation about where Sandra St. Victor has been — but perhaps more importantly, about where she is now.

DJ Soulswede talks to Sandra St. Victor for Soulinterviews TV about Eleven, her musical journey and the stories behind the music.
