Revelation of 2024 for Jazzmag, Sophye Soliveau is a singer, harpist, and choir conductor. Her love for Afro-American music, from R'n'B to soul, passing through gospel, took root from her childhood, and she deepened her skills by pursuing classical training. From the transformation that nourishes her improvisations, the search for healing, and the learning of freedom, comes INITIATION, her debut album. A passionate celebration of voluptuous R'n'B. INITIATION is characterized by its refined orchestration. Sophye's vocal cords and those of her harp unite and rise against a backdrop of airy choirs and a precious and subtle bass-drum groove, enhancing an original repertoire with deeply soulful inspirations.

Sophye Soliveau - harp / vocals
