SEM

SEM a.k.a. Sandra Elizabeth Mae was born on the 15th of April, 1989, in Linz, Austria.
As a child, she discovered her boundless love for music, literature and dramatic arts. At the age of eight, she wrote her first book, and asked her parents if she could take music lessons. She will represent Austria in the International Music Festival 33 after winning Austria's Got Talent V.
Only six years later, at the age of fourteen, she began to compose and write her own music and lyrics, mainly pop songs, which quickly turned into high quality music within the following years, dominated by Celtic and Tribal sounds.
As a result of her growing passion for symphonic metal, she began incorporating the unique beauty of the genre into her own blend of incredible sounds to finally create her individual style of music. At times, her songs remind the listener of epic film soundtracks, as the orchestral element becomes more vibrant.
As a professional actress and voice-over artist, Sandra Elizabeth knows how essential but difficult it is to touch people's hearts by only the sound of your own voice and words. Within every word she writes and every note she drops into her music you can feel her own emotions coming through, drawing from her own experiences or inspirations.
== Musical career ==
=== Austria's Got Talent III (2015) ===
On 29 August 2014, SEM released her debut album and single titled "Hero". The album is about going on, about keeping faith, about overcoming obstacles and our own fears or doubts or sorrows. It's about love, about trust, about courage. It's about that hero who lies within all of us, who keeps us going whenever we think we can't get up and fight any more. The music video for her debut single was released on the same day.
In Summer 2015, SEM decided to enter her song "Hero" in Austria's Got Talent III. She made the shortlist and performed seventh in a field of eight songs. She ultimately placed second, losing the victory by four points. However, she still gained top marks from the Austrian jury.
=== Austria's Got Talent V & IMF 33 (2016-present) ===
After being the runner-up in Austria's Got Talent III, SEM promised herself to enter again. In the New Year of 2016, SEM entered her second single Demon to Austria's Got Talent V. She released "Demon" on 9 September 2015 as her second single, from a to-be-determined album. On 4 February 2016, SEM was announced as one of the participants of Austria's Got Talent V. She performed ninth in a field of ten songs and qualified to the superfinal after placing first in the final. She ended up winning the super final with 62% of the votes, compared to the 38% Roamer got. As a result, she will represent Austria in the International Music Festival 33 with her song "Demon".
