SOPHIE

Sophie Xeon (17 September 1986 – 30 January 2021), widely recognized as SOPHIE, was a Scottish record producer, singer, songwriter, and DJ. She gained recognition in 2013 with her single “Bipp”/“Elle”. Her singles compilation Product was released by Numbers in 2015. She collaborated closely with artists from the PC Music label and produced for a varied group of musical acts, including Charli XCX, Madonna, Vince Staples, Flume, and Quay Dash. SOPHIE’s music has been characterized as a “hyperkinetic” version of pop music, often featuring high-pitched female vocals and synthesized electronic textures.

On October 27, 2017, SOPHIE unveiled her first new solo music since 2015 with the delicate “It’s Okay to Cry”. This release signaled a new chapter for SOPHIE, both musically and personally. Since then, she adopted female pronouns and the name Sophie Xeon. Her debut album Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides was released on June 15th, 2018, and was nominated for a Grammy.

Besides her released music, she also amassed an extensive unreleased discography.

SOPHIE tragically passed away on January 30, 2021, at the age of 34, after an accident in Athens, Greece.
