I'm Sophie May and based in Dorset. I'm a singer songwriter and cover singer, singing a variety of songs from up-to-date pop music to older music from the 60s. I enjoy performing at weddings, private and public events and occassions.
I trained as a dancer since of the age of 3 and then later went on to train as a singer from the age of 12, completing exams to grade 8 and currently working on my singing diploma to provide teaching. I am gigging in my spare time because of my love for singing, alonside working in retail full time currently.
Based in Christchurch, Dorset

I would only need a space to fit myself, mic stand and PA system. I would require at least 1 power socket and 1 parking space.
Yes, I will bring my own PA system to all events.
I would like to know if there's any additional directions to help find my way and where to unload the car if possible.
I am happy to play an appropriate playlist of songs between and after sets. I'm happy to select the music or let the client choose.
I can perform with or without, if electric is not permitted. However, would be preferred with electrics.
I would say my favourite event would be my most recent wedding in Dorchester. I absolutely loved the atmosphere at this particular wedding and seeing all the guests so happy. Singing the bride down the aisle and during the ceremony was so special.
My most aspiring artists are Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish as I love to learn up to date pop songs. On the other hand, Etta James is also a favourite of mine because I love singing older songs but giving them a modern touch.
I started singing at open mics and finding contacts and venues through word of mouth. Since then I have been gigging for private functions, wedding and local public events for occasions, alongside working in Retail full time currently.
I love playing at all sorts of events but I would say my favourite event would include party events for special occasions like weddings or birthdays and singing to a crowd that wants to get involved and sing along.
Of course! I can learn up to 5 song requests per event.
I normally arrive an hour before the performance. To set up, it takes about 20 minutes including a sound check. I normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. For weddings, this may vary: wedding ceremony (60 minutes) or reception drinks/evening which can vary in time depending on the client and venue.
I am more than happy to play outside but I just ask for a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
Usually I will send the client a set list and they can choose from that list or I am willing to adapt my set list for the client/occasion. More than happy to learn any specific songs.
Previous customers would describe me as professional and with a lovely voice.
