Sophie Sanders is a soft-spoken songwriter, and sometimes singer-songwriter, who comes by her love for words honestly. She was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and grew up watching her Dad write country music. It wasn’t until her early 20’s that she realized any interest in following suit.
Sanders graduated from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2011 with a B.A. in Psychology and Anthropology. The week after graduation, she found herself picking up a guitar for the first time. The obsession came immediately. The songs came soon after.
Sanders served as a Peace Corps volunteer in East Java, Indonesia, from 2012-2013, bringing a little guitar and her burgeoning interest in making music with her. Once she came back home to Music City, she was home to stay.
Sanders now lives with her husband, their toddler and their chunky cat. She is a full-time mama, a when she can find the time songwriter, and a keen observer of this crazy thing called life.
Sophie released her first record, “Steep and Shining Spaces,” in November of 2018, and her second record “Taller,” in Summer 2024. Watch for more music coming soon.
