Sabrina Francis is a Grenadian born singer/ songwriter talent nourished from birth by her mother and role model Donysia Domerge and her very supportive father. Mind you, she wasn't forced to practice the piano 8 hours a day or write entire symphonies, but she and at least four of her siblings were all taught to appreciate the simple beat of a drum, to savour the feeling that can come a group of harmonized voices, and to take pride in the gratification that can come from expressing yourself with a pen. Over the years, Sabrina’s has had a number of very memorable opportunities to share her voice with anyone willing to listen and always had the welcomed support of God, family, friends and even complete strangers. Like the group of strangers she now calls her family, her band F.L.O.M (For The Love of Music). Dieter Burkhalter, Alesia Aird and Keane Jules are Sabrina’s biggest supporters, they believe that she has something worth sharing. So song by song, one encouraging speech after another, they motivate Sabrina to pursue her passion and knowing nothing of what the future holds, they push forward, together.

New Song Release:

"Little Piece of Heaven" "Break"

Album: Think In Colour Released: March 2016 https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/sabrinafrancis

Sabrina’s album feels like a cold shower after a long day. The Lyrics of her songs speak to something we all understand. The pains of growing up and the lessons we learn from these pains. In some ways it is a refreshing reminder that this life is not always perfect but there is always beauty to be found somewhere in it.

Life and career

2012 … Dieter heard Sabrina singing from a spot somewhere in the background during a Gospel concert in 2012 and was impressed with her voice, her musicality and her rooted approach to life in general. After the show, trying to locate her on the lovely small Island of Grenada proved to be more difficult than expected, but one year later they made music for the first time together and the chemistry was just right to start a musical journey.

2013 … Sabrina’s song “This Is Home“ was used by the Grenada Tourism Authority to promote Grenada as a holiday destination. Sabrina & Navigators played couple of shows in Grenada and as a highlight the band traveled to Switzerland for 8 concerts and made a lot of new friends.

2014 … Sabrina was raised in a very musically family, all of her sisters are also love singing and by mimicking their mother Donysia, they learned how to harmonise a melody and write songs. For the first time, the 3 sisters Sabrina, Jemilla, Simone and their mother Donysia did a concert named “Family Matters” consisting of original songs. Inspired by this experience, Sabrina decided to form a new band focusing on polyphonic singing. Before they knew it, FLOM (For the Love of Music) was one of the most requested live bands on the island and did over 100 concerts within the region.

2015 … FLOM traveled to Europe and did 10 concerts. Later on that year Sabrina & Dieter started focusing on new songs and spent a lot of time in the studio working on Sabrina’s first album.

2016… Samuel Baur (CH) produced Sabrina’s album. “THINK IN COLOURS“ was recorded on The Lightship and was released in April, once that was done, Sabrina Francis & FLOM opened on the main stage of the PURE GRENADA MUSIC FESTIVAL. During this festival Sabrina met Joss Stone and did a small collaboration with the UK soul singer. In fall of 2016 FLOM travels once more to Europe, this time performing in Switzerland & Italy.

2017… Mr Killa, Grenada’s #1 soca artist is regular guest for the weekly live concerts on the lightship with Sabrina & FLOM. Sabrina does some collaborations with him and was guest singer for Mr Killa’s production for the 2nd Pure Grenada Music Festival. In November 2017, F.L.O.M intends to do some more connecting in Europe. Their tour now spans over four countries, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy. They’re looking forward to warming the hearts of whoever chooses to listen to their acoustic soul from the West Indies.

2018 Sabrina and F.L.O.M are set to tour the United Kingdom, France and Spain in their 4th tour to Europe. Performing at "the Tabernacle" in London and many other concert venues.
