One of the most successful and credited female performers of the past fifteen years in Taiwan, Sandee Chan is also recognized as one of the most talented producer and song writer through out Asia. Sandee studied piano as a girl, and learned to play an electric piano in high school. As a university freshman, she founded the first Rock and Roll Music Club in Cheng Chi University, while continued to play music through keyboards, guitars and other music instruments, and started to write songs of her own.
Discovered by the independent record label Friendly Dogs during her first performance on stage in Young Star, the annual battle of the bands for university students country-wide, Sandee's music career began in no time.

In 1992, Sandee started to write songs for famous Taiwanese singers Jeff Chang and Pin-yuan Huang. Her first single A Long Way Down was published in a compilation of the Friendly Dogs records in 1994, and in the same year, Sandee released her debut album Washington Chopped Down the Cherry Tree. Hundreds of songs were beautifully created out of her hands for artists across Taiwan, Hong Kong and China since then. Sandee is very keen on live performances, in the form of either acoustic or full-band, but with the essence of a comedian or talk-show host behind her punk-rock appearance and her princess charm. Other than her regular solo concerts, she had also been on the same stage with Cat Power in year 2003.

Sandee had, so far, released eleven solo albums, two albums under the name of Material Girls (a singing group with Sandee as the lead vocalist and producer, Hong Kong music engineer Veegay as the vocal and producer, and illustrator Cola King as lyrics writer and image designer), and independently coordinated and produced three non-profitable compilations—the IS Project (Indie Soundcheck Project)—for the new generation of songwriters and performers all over the world.

Chan's unique ways of songwriting and production has been considered as one of the most challenging but encouraging tasks for many Asian male and female singers.

As a successful singer-songwriter, Sandee had also set foot in different artistic categories, such as movie score and stage play music, in virtue of her talents in creating the absolute atmosphere for the theatrical productions. One of her distinguished music works in movie is the composition and production of the self-titled song of Movie In the Mood For Love, directed by Wong Kar-Wai , and sang by Tony Leong (a.k.a.

Hugh Li).
