““Working with Sophy on the Moon score has been a high point of my career. It’s not just her creativity, sensitivity and endless versatility that takes your breath away, but also the way she can use her voice to add a whole new dimension to the music, whether it be percussion, syncopation or melody. Nothing is too much trouble, or too out there for her to dive into, and she effortlessly and joyously becomes a key member of the creative team””
“It has been such a pleasure collaborating with the incredibly talented Sophy. I’m a non-musician with some pretty off-the-wall ideas and eclectic inspirations but absolutely nothing phased her. She has the ability to quickly grasp and run with a concept while maintaining a collaborative spirit, inventiveness and genuine joy for the process. Hugely professional and creative, she did a fabulous job translating steers, tone and style into a stunning and wonderfully rich score, which had a clear identity and cohesive narrative. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat”
