UNDER RE-CONSTRUCTION

About Me


..
Born in hype Paris and committed to be a bohemian since then, Sophie followed a classic path, until high school grad, to the exception that music was part of her everyday routine. She started piano at early age, and at around 12, started using her dad's home studio everyday, writing songs, programming beats and recording music. She started to record her own vocals at around 15.
Although she'd planned to study sound engineering in Paris, she left to Boston (MA) to study at Berklee College of Music, encouraged by being granted a scholarship...Before then, D'Angelo, Rahsaan Patterson, Prince, The Fugees and Jamiroquai were already playing in her stereo (not to mention the basics she grew up with, Stevie Wonder, George Benson, The Beatles, etc.) She discovered gospel and jazz once in the U.S. (started listening to Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, etc.), and since then, understood the roots of it all.
After a couple of years in Boston, Sophie one day packed her not-that-many bags, and unpacked them 8 hours later in New York City. The next day, she was hired in a recording studio. The day after, she started performing backing vocals with artists from the underground Soul music scene. It’s only a few months later that Sophie got her act together and started performing her own material.
Sophie’s live performances have impressed and seduced a constantly growing audience around the world. So far, Delila has played in prestigious venues in London (Jazz Café, Soho Revue Bar, The Bedford, The Regal Room), New York (Blue Note, Joe’s Pub, S.O.B’s, B.B .King’s), Paris (L’Elysee Montmartre, L’Europeen, Le Tryptique, Le Sentier des Halles), Oslo and Lisboa…
Since approached by UK producers through the internet, Sophie has travelled to London several times and participated to multiple recording and writing sessions. Strongly inspired by the city’s atmosphere and culture, she decided to make a move. She’s currently living in London, performing, working on her next record as well as writing and producing for other artists.
