Sophie - Lead VocalThe past few years have seen Sophie Wilson gearing up to take on whatever world she lands herself in. The beginnings of an honors degree and a lineup of gigs with some of the country's top musicians are just some of the things that have been keeping this 21 year old busy. Sophie recently performed a run of gigs with the super funky band Greg Lyons Hip-Operation as a guest vocalist. Sophie has also been leading her own band "Sophie Wilson & the Groove Movement" performing in Sydney and the NSW North Coast. 2009 is also the year Sophie is making ready to record and release an EP, with songwriting up there on the list of things to do and a recent appearance as support for Melbourne's Monique Brumby affirming the soul in her original writing. Sophie has also been busy fronting Groove Embassy and has been entertaining audiences with her powerful voice and interpretations of dance classics! Back to TopTess - Lead Vocal
