Sophie is signed to Woodville Records, owned by the great British jazz saxophonist Alan Barnes. This, her debut release in 2010, is You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To...and features her fantastic trio: Ross Stanley (piano), Chris Hill (bass), and Graham Fox (drums), as well as guest stars, Stan Sulzmann (saxes) and Jim Hart (vibes)."On this, her debut album, Sophie proves she can do it all standards, contemporary jazz compositions and wordless vocal instrumentals are all handled with sophistication, aplomb and a maturity that belies her young years."(Alan Barnes)

The exciting mix of music is stamped with a fresh and personal touch, with many of the songs containing self-penned lyrics and vocaleses, highlighting Sophie to be an intuitive writer. "She has the ability to pen apposite and insightful lyrics to established tunes, in a way that makes you feel they have always been part of that particular song."
