SOPHIE BERNICE
Singing guitarist, songwriter and session singer
available for weddings and events
ABOUT
I am a Singer/Songwriter, based in the UK. I have been singing and songwriting since early childhood, and I take influence from artists such as Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Sufjan Stevens, and Adrianne Lenker. I create ethereal indie-folk music inspired by my own life experiences to date, exploring themes such as human emotion, spirituality and the natural world. My music has been supported by the likes of Help Musicians, BBC Introduing, Sofar Sounds and Liverpool Sound City.
I perform across the UK, at weddings, events and as a session singer. I am able to play an extensive list of cover songs from many genres and eras, from artists including Bob Dylan, Tracy Chapman, Fleetwood Mac, Nina Simone, and Lou Reed. I love to play my own acoustic versions of a range of timeless classics.

FEEDBACK
'Sophie Bernice is a real talent. Quiet and unassuming on stage, she quickly captivates the gathered audience with her mastery of music and voice. This is a mistress of song-smithery who has built upon her musical influences, and may well indeed surpass them in the future. An Artist in every sense of the term.' -Klee Music
'It's gorgeous, it's got this real honest sensitivity and ethereal dreaminess. It's also so eccentric, she's tapped into this otherworldly eccentricity, and it's so melancholic as well.' -BBC Introducing Lancashire (on my song 'Blue, Blue, Blue')
''Sophie is simply incredible, as soon as I heard her voice I knew that I wanted her to perform at mine and my husbands wedding. Sophie is just pure talent, no flashy lights or elaborate staging required, just her beautifully enchanting voice and guitar made our day even more perfect and special. I couldn't have hoped for anyone better and I was overjoyed when she said she could sing on our wedding day. There was nothing but praise from our wedding guests towards Sophie and like me everyone feels she is destined for bigger and better things. I would highly recommend Sophie if you are looking to book a singer for any occasion, I promise you will not be left disappointed and to top it all off she is not only an incredible singer but such a lovely person too. -Stephen
Sophie is an amazing musician that I was very lucky to meet and to collaborate with. For our very challenging album with Macedonian lullabies which had to be adapted into ‘world music’ arrangements, and combining two languages, she created a very special arrangement which was perfect for her soft and esoteric voice. She even sang a stanza in Macedonian, making the song a rare gem. I am proud to know Sophie. -Pavlina, Macedonian Arts Council
