Sandra Ann Lauer (born May 18, 1962 in Saarbrücken, Germany), professionally known as Sandra, is a popular German singer, currently living in Ibiza, Spain.
After enjoying success as lead singer of the disco trio Arabesque, Sandra began performing under her own solo name, releasing her first international #1 hit "(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena" in 1985.
