Sophie has crafted an original sound from elements of indie rock, jazz, pop, swing, folk, and old country. Often minimalist and similar to the finger-snapping style of Rickie Lee Jones, Sophie's writing is inspired by such artists as Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Taj Mahal, Ani DiFranco, and Lily Tomlin.

Sophie's band—formerly the Probiotics now The Slowly Dying Death—adds an earthy, jazzy fullness using not only bass and drums, but also violin, mandolin, washboard, kazoo, and whatever else deems itself worthy of the cause.

Sophie's vocals are like spider webs, delicate but strong, a mix between the soulful tenderness of Portishead's Beth Gibbons and the sweet brightness of Frente's Angie Heart. Her lyrics are at once whimsical, sarcastic, dark, bitter, and funny.

Sophie has an unusually diverse fan base ranging from emo kids to jazz enthusiasts. Whether playing solo or with the band, Sophie has built a devoted local fan base of finger-snappers and doo-wop-ers.

Several of Sophie's songs have been played on KTHX 100.1 FM "The X"
