tbc

Sophia is singer and community musician working with people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to rediscover the natural voice and reinforce the innate human ability to make music. She spent her early years singing Gospel music at church, where her passion for voice began. As a teenager she attended music camps which informed much of her experience of harmony singing, and led her first workshop in 2007. After her apprenticeship with Spitalfields Music she set up her first community choir - Hackney Harmony - in 2010. During her 4 years as music coordinator in primary education she completed the Music Workshop Skills course at Goldsmiths. She is passionate about singing for positive change and healing often leading singing at protests and actions, as well as for ritual and ceremony. Her workshops are heart warming and soul inspiring, creating a sense of euphoria, connection and empowerment for everyone involved.
