Sophie Maricq is a diminutive powerhouse who has many more strings to her guitar than most! Born in Madrid to an English/American Mother and Belgian Father, Sophie grew up bilingual and travelled extensively because of her international background. Music was a major part of her childhood; listening to a variety of artists at home and she started playing classical piano at 7.
Whilst studying law, Sophie auditioned for a music school band and found herself fronting a rock group and although dancing had been her passion, Sophie suddenly felt she had come home. “Music makes me feel alive, connected and vibrant to life” declares Sophie excitingly.
Although Sophie worked at top executive positions, she continued to study music and technical vocal training which led to her gaining a scholarship at Berklee College of Music in Boston. With her tireless, enthusiastic and diligent approach to life, Sophie finally realised that she had the potential for success and decided to quit the corporate world and settle in a sleepy, mountain village in Andalucia, Southern Spain to focus on her creative journey, write songs and launch a Wellness Programme with music being the central focus entitled BE MUSIC.
Finally, Sophie has completed her first album which incorporates prolific lyrics encapsulating her life’s journey over the past 20 years. “Taking responsibility for your own life and discovering one’s purpose” reflects Sophie “it’s not what happens but what you do with it” believes Sophie. She released a reward based Crowdfunding Campaign on Ulule on 22 November, offering the chance to pre-released material and BE MUSIC workshop experiences. Don t miss out!
