Raised with Stevie Wonder and Earth Wind and Fire in the background, she developed a taste for funky rhythms and soulful melodies. She started her musical education at the age five and quickly became a brilliant classical pianist. On the other hand, music theory was not the most exciting thing in the world to her. She learned by herself the magic of improvisation on her father's synthesizers. Soon enough, her first compositions flourished at the age of eleven. A few years later, she experiences a musical shock: contemporary soul music. From there, she adamantly followed the evolution of artists such as D'Angelo, Maxwell, Rahsaan Patterson and Jamiroquai among others. These influences helped Sophie develop her own musical personality and opened new doors to her creativity. Still a teenager, she even meets Swedish soul act Stephen Simmonds, French artist Sinclair, hip hop stars Mc Solaar and Oxmo Puccino. A huge source of inspiration for a young musician, isn't it?
