Sophie is an experienced and diverse musician whose instruments include but are not limited to; accordion, piano, saxophone, guitar and wind synth.
Her range of genres and acts is as diverse as her instrument ensemble; from beautifully played instrumental folk music performed on the accordion, improvised jazz or blues piano or popular covers, to multi-instumental live-looping where Sophie performs with all her instruments at once, weaving intricate layers of melodies and harmonies with an orchestral sound.
Sophie performs either solo or in a number of duos and bands, including her own band - featuring herself as lead vocalist and accordionist, accompanied by an incredibly talented orchestral violinist and percussionist, playing a range of beautiful folk music and upbeat Balkan numbers that are guaranteed to get people up and dancing.
