Can you picture sitting at a bonfire, underneath the stars, telling each other stories? This is what Sophie’s World Music is all about.
We are not only musicians that work together but friends that have a vision and dreams to share. Our songs take you on a trip where you can dance as if you were at a festival, sing like you were at a concert, laugh as if you were with your friends and dream as if the world was at your feet.
In times of political and social unrest we invite the listener into a different world: inspired by the homonymous book of Jostein Gaarders, the Dutch singer-songwriter, front woman and founder Maya Lisa exposes the world of Sophie: a young, uninhibited and indecisive woman who looks at the people around her with empathy and puts herself in their shoes to understand their feelings and believes, with the hope that she can make her own life decisions.
The friendship between the musically high-educated band members of Sophie's World Music creates a refined musical interaction. In an ingenious way, Jonas Vogelsang enriches the music with accessible folk and jazz inspired harmonies on the acoustic guitar. Bassist Stefan Rey, like no other, performs the soul of the double bass and with his incredible timing and phrasing he is a golden combination with the Groove-Specialized drummer Alex Bernath (D). The multi-instrumentalist Matthias Schuller is the perfect addition to this worldly musical recipe.
