Sophie Serafino is a violinist, and also a singer and songwriter, with a unique blend of pop music. The style evolved after years of experimentation with many musical genres, has been described as entirely unique. Sophie mixes world music and impressionistic sounds with funk, dance and classically inspired strings.

A student of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, she also performs classically on occasion. Sophie has performed in Sydney and Melbourne selling out some of the best venues around including the Vanguard and the Metro in Sydney, and participated in Australian Music Week twice (‘03 + ’04) performing at the Esplanade Hotel and The Pony Club. Her solo violin act has been described as “cutting edge virtuoso- pop violinist: a sophisticated performer”. Performing her own arrangements of the classics and her own original compositions, there is nothing out there that looks, sounds and moves like Sophie.

Her solo act has taken her to high profile events from Sydney charity events to corporate launches including the Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation at the Stamford Plaza Hotel Double Bay 2003, Make A Wish Foundation Dinner Double Bay 2003, and The Georg Jensen Master Diamond Collection Launch Melbourne 2005. Most recently, Sophie has performed in London at Tiger Tiger, Fridge Bar, Lark in the Park, The Bedford and Cottons, and in Amsterdam at the Supperclub and the Supperclub Cruise. A versatile musician, she performs her original material both acoustically and with DJs all over the world.
