Vonn’s music draws from her personal experiences which have taken her across the world and back several times.
London based New York born electronic pop singer-songwriter Sofi Vonn is set to release her debut EP later this year. Sofi's deep lyrics and light melodies create a set of contradictions that somehow fit together perfectly to tell a relatable narrative of youth. With her exceptional voice, she deftly expresses emotions and opinions on society, love, sexuality, and all the other things that everyone goes through. A perfect example of Sofi's sound can be heard on her first single off the project "Stranger" which Sofi debuted recently to a packed room during a performance at Arlene's Grocery in New York, NY. Next Sofi plans to follow up with her emotionally driven single "Is It A Crime" where she discusses her need for wanting a meaningful relationship and why no one should feel embarrassed for knowing what they want in life. Vonn's music draws from her personal experiences which have taken her across the world and back several times. Born and raised in New York City to German parents, she grew up in the artistic driven West Village neighborhood drawing musical influence from a variety of different backgrounds which has given her the freedom to come up with an artistic style that is uniquely her own.
When asked about the upcoming release of her debut EP Sofi said, "Creating this music has both therapeutic and fun. Putting my own songs out is a dream come true and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come. As far as what to expect for the EP, it's a perfect mix of sounds I want to embody. A combination of deep house influenced dance tracks and pop melodies." Following High School in Zürich, Switzerland Sofi felt confused as she considered what to do post-graduation. "I liked music but I didn't know how to get into it, because when I was applying to college for anything musical, they wanted me to be a Steinway Fellow already, basically," she says. Therefore, Sofi took a break from music and attended Tulane University in New Orleans where she earning a degree in psychology (with a German minor), but as fate would have it, she was brought back to music when she studied abroad in Berlin, Germany for a year. "I loved Berlin so I moved back there after I graduated from college - and that's how I got into techno and DJing." Besides DJing at a festival, she also studied sound engineering for a bit before finally landing a full-time job with the BMG record label, which brought Vonn back to her hometown of New York City. Her work at the label taught her marketing skills that she then used to help her advance her DJ career at night. She became an in-demand house and techno DJ, booking numerous shows around the city for the next two yearsVideos
