Sophie has always sort of written songs since year 9 when her mum passed down the 40-year-old Yamaha she played at uni. After 6 years of churning out some hearty angst heard thankfully by few, it's taken her till the very end of her own first year at university to actually pen something half-decent. Since then she has started to find the music she really loves and has been letting it shape some songs she feels more able to play in public.
