'''Sandra Chambers''' (born 11 April 1967 in London), also known as '''Sandy Chambers''' or simply '''Sandy''', is an English dance music vocalist based in Italy.

== Career ==
Chambers moved to Italy in 1992<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurokdj.com//interviews/sandy_interview.php|title=Sandy Chambers interview by Tavi Meran|website=The Eurodance Encyclopaedia|accessdate=29 July 2020}}</ref> and her voice has been used in many Italian [[Electronic dance music]] productions, mainly [[Eurodance]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/it/artist/253506-Sandy-Chambers|title=Sandy Chambers|website=Discogs.com|accessdate=29 July 2020}}</ref> In the 2000s Chambers has been frequently used by Italian producers Alle and [[Benny Benassi]] who she first met when she did the vocals for a track by the Italian dance act [[J.K. (singer)|J.K.]], that the Benassis produced. She also toured with Italian singer [[Giorgia (singer)|Giorgia]].

As a songwriter, Chambers contributed to the [[Corona (band)|Corona]] project. Though never officially confirmed nor denied by the production team, rumours circulated that she also gave her vocals to the project's two first albums and it has later been confirmed that she at least sang "[[Baby Baby (Corona song)|Baby Baby]]".<ref name="discogs" /><ref>{{cite book|last=Jurman|first=Luca|date=2010|title=Vocal classes: L'evoluzione nel canto|publisher=De Agostini|page=27|isbn=9788841861387}}</ref> It was already suspected that [[Jenny B|Giovanna Bersola]], who was known for lending her voice to lip-syncing models, sang Corona's debut single, "[[The Rhythm of the Night]]",<ref>{{cite book |last=Verrina|first=Francesco Cataldo|date=2015|title=The History of Italo Disco|publisher=Lulu.com|page=246|isbn=9781326304317}}</ref> and the seemingly different voice featured on the other tracks on Corona's debut album was assumed to belong to Chambers, who also had released a single on the same record label (DWA). In 2007, Chambers was credited as “original Corona vocalist Sandy Chambers” on the single "Baby Baby" by Sunblock, a cover version on which she appeared as a featured singer.<ref name="discogs">{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/it/Sunblock-2-Feat-Sandy-Baby-Baby/release/4385574|title=Sunblock (2) Feat.

When [[Bobby Farrell]] was allowed to use the name [[Boney M.]] he released a Boney M. remix album with Sandy doing the female vocals under Bobby Farrell & Sandy Chambers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bobby Farrell & Sandy Chambers - Boney M.
