About Sophie

An amazing bassist and upright bassist, ranging in events across Great Britain. Sophie assures to impress a crowd and bring them to life!
Bass Guitarist
Benfleet

My musical journey began in secondary school, I would rush home every day with the craving to play my instrument. After leaving school at sixteen, I completed my college course in music performance, where I learned to play within bands and songwriting. My music education continued for another three years at BIMM University London studying Bass Performance and Music Production. During this time, I excelled in the session role and played with as many artists and bands as possible. Performing multiple times a week at venues all across London. Currently, I am studying music theory at home whilst working as a sound engineer, to work in the West End as a member of a pit band or as a performer on a cruise line. My experience ranges in recording and writing for film and TV, writing for an original rock band, supporting singers/ artists on stage, and function events including weddings. The biggest highlight of my career took place in August 2023 when I traveled to Cork in Ireland and played my first major festival alongside artists such as Two Door Cinema Club, Raye, and many more.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I will always try my best to adjust to my clients' schedules to ensure that the event and my part in it run as smoothly as possible. As long as there is notice of any changes in times for the event, I assure you that it will be just fine.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Due to my abilities, I am able to provide basic playback of music. Before the event, I will simply ask for a preference of genres and artists and create a playlist that will act as background music in between my sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

I require about 30 minutes before my set to set up and test everything. However I will always arrive early just in case.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Absolutely! The songs are there for your preference, and I am able to switch between songs and setlists very easily. However, I am happy to discuss the required songs for the event if needed!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Of course! I will provide all the equipment needed.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes! My setlist is always changing and adapting to different events, therefore with some notice, I can learn new songs for specific requirements.
