For his part with Lady Gaga he was part of Chromatics, his latest album.
The artist was born in Scotland, Glasgow, and from the beginning she grew up with a keen interest in music as she was a little girl, in fact her father always listened to electronic music cassettes and that was when she started to get that feeling . and desire to continue to be the creator of such entertainment.
Just 9 years ago he started writing his songs and then learned how to create and produce them. He was part of a band Motherland, although his thing was to sing alone, so he managed to work with great artists such as Charlie XCX.
After spending a few years, she felt that now was the right time to share with the world that she was a transsexual woman and that her biggest dream in life was to become a pop star. This allowed us to see her working on various projects, very focused on what she loved.

The artist was described as a lonely figure and remained anonymous for some time, hiding her identity in interviews by masking her voice or covering parts of herself. Early in his career, his real identity was the subject of press speculation. Before revealing that she was a trans woman, some commentators accused Sophie of “feminine appropriation,” assuming she was a man using a female stage name.
In a 2013 email interview from Pitchfork, when asked about her choice of ‘Sophie’ as the stage name, she replied, “It tastes good and it’s like a moisturizer.” During a Boiler Room show, drag artist Ben Woozy was recruited to impersonate a DJ set, while Sophie pretended to be a bodyguard.
In October 2017, Sophie released the music video for “It’s Okay to Cry”, in which she used her own voice and image for the first time in her work, naked from the bust against a background of clouds. This has been widely interpreted as her manifestation as a trans woman.
She affirmed her trans identity in later interviews, although she spoke of feeling trapped by labels and described her music as her “chosen method of communication” and self-expression. Following her accidental death in 2021, representatives informed Pitchfork that Sophie preferred not to use a family name.
