A Ghana-based music producer and composer, Sandra has become a trusted creative partner for UK-based African theatre companies, offering emotionally resonant compositions that transcend borders.
Best known for her work with Utopia Theatre in the UK, Sandra’s compositions are not just musical embellishments; they are structural elements of storytelling.
In productions such as Death and the King’s Horseman, her original score served as a powerful emotional compass, grounding the audience in the ritual, memory, and cultural context of the scenes.
Sandra’s ability to communicate nuanced emotions through instrumentation has made her a go-to figure in productions seeking to balance modernity and heritage.

Directors describe her process as immersive, intuitive, and deeply respectful of the material.
Her music often enters the creative process early, influencing mood boards, actor rhythm, and even blocking.
What makes Sandra’s story unique is her ability to impact the UK theatre scene without being physically based there.
Her collaborations are proof that cultural contribution isn’t limited by geography.
Working remotely with sound designers, dramaturgs, and technical teams, Sandra has consistently delivered work that feels local, relevant, and artistically aligned.
Outside the theatre, her musical fluency extends to Afro-fusion and contemporary gospel, with production credits across West Africa and the diaspora.
Yet it’s in theatre that her compositions have found a distinct voice, one that bridges continents and creates space for African women in global sound design.
As the UK continues to diversify its performance spaces, Sandra Amartey is showing that technical brilliance and cultural depth can come from anywhere, even thousands of miles away.
