Wollongong based songwriter and musician Bec Sandridge composed the soundtrack for the theatre production Ishmael with the assistance of producer Dave Jenkins Jnr. Her first foray into composing music for a theatre show, Sandridge is known for a unique and commanding stage presence that has seen her tour the UK, Europe and at home in Australia.

A keen eye might recognise Bec as the winner of Triple J Unearthed’s Yours And Owls Festival and International Songwriting Competition finalist (Unsigned category) as judged by Dua Lipa, Chris Martin of Coldplay and Tom Waits. Other career accolades include performing on ABC TV show Q+A and having a recent placement of her song STRANGER on Showtime TV show The L Word: Generation Q.
