She was born in New Jersey to a Puerto Rican mother and Mexican father and grew up in Chicago and Houston, singing and rapping her way through the 1990s. Sandra Gillette graduated from Romeoville High School in 1992. On August 31, 1994, Gillette released, alongside producers 20 Fingers, their first single “Short Dick Man” on Zoo Entertainment/SOS Records, which was controversial. The tune was a global success, particularly in France where it was a number one hit for three weeks. It peaked the top 5 in several European countries such as Italy and Germany and also reached the top ten in other countries, including Austria, Belgium, New Zealand and Australia. It also reached number 14 in the U.S. and was considered a club success there. This single, which involves a woman mocking the size of a man’s penis, was also released in a clean version replacing the word “dick” with “short”, which was also released under the censored title “Short Short Man” in the U.K. and several other countries. This new version, remixed by Strike, reached #11, whereas the original only reached #21 in the UK Singles Chart in 1994.[1] Mohr told the Los Angeles Times that the point of the song was to attract attention. “We figured there were all these songs by men bashing women and treating women like sex objects. So we decided a song that turned the tables on men might attract some attention”.[2] According to Gillette, the point of the song is to “strike back at all the women-bashing songs in pop, especially in rap”.
