Sana Nodelman was born on April 1st, 1993, in Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Sana had discovered her passion for music at a young age. A born rebel, Sana always considered herself a non-conformist. Her hyperactive mind put up barriers between her and early on, and constantly changing schools only added to her difficulties. However, as she grew older, her restlessness began to manifest in her art and interests, paving the way for her eclectic style and presence. She left her home in Karaganda at the age of 17 and traveled for three years until she decided to move to the U.S.
She moved to Los Angeles in 2013 and acquainted herself with the musicians, artists, and outcasts in the area. In 2016, Sana gave birth to her daughter, Eva, who redirected Sana’s creativity and ambition towards a higher purpose. In the wake of Eva's birth, Sana created her alter ego, S.F.H., and pursued her passion for music and art more fervently than ever. Though music was her focus, S.F.H. also created in a number of other mediums like fashion, photography and poetry. S.F.H. draws influence from different states of consciousness, and most every musical genre.
Newly invigorated by the genesis of S.F.H, Sana launched her music career. She contacted a friend who was in the rap scene at the time and recorded some tracks with him, but they were never released. Resisting discouragement, she continued on her own until 2019, when she met Marty Crown, an L.A. artist and musician who was also from Kazakhstan. After some conversation, Marty invited her to meet the Silver Gun Records team at their studio in LA. S.F.H. immediately clicked with the crew and began collaborations with Marty under the label. She was added to the Silver Gun Records’ roster in late 2019.
