Sophye Soliveau is a singer, harpist and choir director. Her love of Afro-American music, from R’n’b to soul to gospel, took root in her childhood, and she deepened her skills through classical training. Sophye’s creations emerge from the need to transcend her sorrows and share the emotions that run through her. She celebrates joy and explores trance, always in search of an intense, immersive sonic experience, whether solo, in a trio or sextet.

Passionate about vocal harmony, from Francis Poulenc to Angie Stone and Bobby McFerrin, Sophye puts her voice to work as an instrument in its own right. Collective creation, improvisation and the involvement of the body in the work of voice and music are at the very essence of her approach with the different ensembles.
