About

Australian singer-songwriter, Sophee Jean, has a voice never meant for background music. Her emotionally precise writing and sweeping, piano-driven melodies turn heartbreak into intimate stories that rise into theatrical ballads. Drawing on great vocal storytellers and old cinema, she makes music romantic in sound and devastating in subject—timeless, yet unmistakenly present.

Singing came as naturally to Sophee as breathing, long before she was any good at it.

“ You don’t think about it or analyse it; you simply know you would die without it.”

At sixteen, she co-wrote her first song, then stopped writing. Years later, the songs returned in a tidal wave, carrying a clearer sense of what her music was for.

Ask Sophee who she is, and she'll hand you her songs. They'll tell you everything you need to know. She asks only to be received-and to share the music, until what was once hers becomes something held between us.

“After I wrote my first song at sixteen, I spent years afraid I’d never write again—or that anything I wrote wouldn’t be good enough. I think I needed that silence; I had so much to say it overwhelmed me, and when the songs returned, they gave being a singer a whole new meaning. Singing them at the piano is when I feel most transported.”
