Hey! I’m sofie,
a singer/songwriter, actor, and multi-instrumentalist based in NYC.
I grew up just outside the city in a house filled with Mom’s big foam costumes, Dad’s quirky illustrations, and an unshakable belief in doing what you love.
At five, I wrote my first song—Air Geetarz—right after my first piano lesson, probably inspired by Avril, Aqua, and Rent (which I’d already seen on Broadway twice—don’t ask). Every new instrument I learned became a new writing collaborator—first guitar, then marimba. The songs got deeper and darker… an early hit was called Queen of Sorrow (lol).
Acting came into my life around five too, following in my older bro’s footsteps. Soon, I was in and out of the city recording as Linny on The Wonder Pets! for 8 years, acting in avant-garde art films by Eve Sussman and Matthew Barney, performing in Met operas, and studying percussion at Juilliard Pre-College. The people I met, places I went, and roles I played still find their way into my work today.
I ended up at NYU Tisch’s Experimental Theatre Wing, a wacky-wonderful place that blended everything I loved - acting, singing, creating theatre, and collaborating with cool people.
My work is honest, electric, and emotional. My songs come straight from the heart and I gravitate toward theatre and music projects that bring people together and spark intimate connection.
When I’m not writing/performing, I’m helping others find their voice—teaching kids to sing, play piano and guitar, write songs, and act. You can read more about my teaching studio here :)
