Sophie began her musical journey as a classical pianist before discovering jazz several years ago. Having recently completed her first year studying Jazz at Trinity Laban Conservatoire, she has embraced every opportunity to explore new music and develop her artistry.
Sophie finds her greatest inspiration through performance and values music as her primary means of self-expression. Influenced by musicians including Kenny Kirkland, Kenny Wheeler, Bud Powell, and Wayne Shorter, she enjoys performing in both small ensemble and big band settings. Her favourite aspect of making music is the interaction between musicians and the spontaneity of collective improvisation.
