"I hit and held my last note and when I let go, the theater erupted in applause. It felt amazing."
Candice Sand tells HNS in the interview. From Saskatchewan now living in the Toronto area,
this Pop/R&B Singer Songwriter is quickly establishing herself in the music business. She's
currently teamed up with Grammy/Juno nominated production and writing team Kuya
Productions Inc. With her foot inside the door to the industry, it was only right to feature
Candice Sand in our Special Indie Celeb Issue.

What quality do you feel you have that sets
you aside from others in your profession?
“Positivity... it's in the words I write & sing, the way I do
business, and the way I live my life. Some people mistake
positivity for being naive or refusing to face "reality". I
don't agree with that at all. I think it makes you brighter,
stronger, and more resilient... and I think that more and
more people in the world want to be a part of that way of
thinking.”
Up to this point what would you say is your most
memorable moment in your career?
“I would have to say performing at the Miss Universe
Canada pageant. I only performed two songs: my new
single "I Got This" and an acoustic cover of the Beatles
tune "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" (the 'Across the
Universe' arrangement). "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" was
my last song I sang and I invited the audience to sing along
with me. Well... they did and it was amazing! A full theater

of people singing out those beautiful words along with me!
As the song ended, I hit and held my last note and when I
let go, the theater erupted in applause. It felt amazing.”
Is there any upcoming projects you would like to
discuss? Yes! I just finished recording my debut EP set for
release in 2014! Kuya Productions Inc (known best for
their work with multiplatinum R&B artist JRDN)
produced it and together we co-wrote all of the songs for
the EP. Also, there’s a couple great artists that are
featured on a couple tracks... so stay tuned!
