Sophie was a contestant in the Germany Wildcard Eurovision Song Contest 2015 – Unser Song für Österreich selection. Her soulful and upbeat song was entitled Imperfection.

Sophie has released a video for Imperfection and has also been speaking to esccovers.com about her music and ambitions.

She was born on 28 April 1998 and she was inspired at the young age of 10 by the Dreamgirls movie. She decided that she wanted to be a singer at this point. She began with singing and then piano lessons. Her inspirations are soulful singers like Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Etta James and Whitney Houston.

Sophie’s first memorable gig was at the Spargelfest in Berlin-Schöneberg and then she became the lead singer of a school band called Encore. She loves to sing live and she also has her own You Tube channel where she posts videos of her singing and you can also follow her on her Facebook page. She has covered songs like Mercy by Duffy and Forget You be CeeLo Green.

She enjoyed the experience of participating at the Germany Eurovision Wildcard selection and is now working on new song with her producer. She is also polishing her dance and singing skills at the same time. Sophie is certainly an artist to watch out for.
