Sofia Wilks

Sofia started her professional singing career at the age of 16 within the club circuit but even before then, she had performed before royalty. She was chosen to sing before HRH Prince Edward at the International Convention Centre’s Symphony Hall. Her love for music has seen her learn to play several instruments including guitar, cello and even trombone; though in her own words her triangle playing is the best by far! Her career has seen her perform in more ‘intimate’ settings as well as larger spaces including festivals, as headline act and also as support act on UK tours. Sofia has also been a ‘session singer’ since the age of 14, for which the recordings have had success internationally. Singing has always been her first love and the variation in styles and genres she performs demonstrate this. From pop, soul, country, dance and reggae to rock, Sofia currently works with several well established Pink Floyd tribute bands, a vocal harmony group, a 70’s/8o’s themed band in addition to her solo work . Sofia says “My love for performing started at an early age and I’ve been very fortunate in being able to work with many talented musicians over the years. I never tire of learning new material, even though some may have been challenging. The Pink Floyd track ‘Great gig in the sky’ was the biggest challenge for me to learn (for those who aren’t familiar, it’s the one with no words!) and now I get a massive buzz from the audience every time I sing it. To me, it’s always worth putting in the work. I’m very excited about the coming year projects I’m going to be involved in.
