And I love watching MTV, So you think you can dance too, and I love MSN chatting to the boys ......not.. LOL.....well seriously I love chatting on MSN. I think this computer age is great.
Few words:-      I have been involved in music since I was 7 years old. Playing the piano, singing, song writing, dancing, acting I have done it all. I have always had a dream, A Dream that one day I would be able to share my singing/dancing/song writing talent with as many people as possible across the World. Recently my dream started to come true after I signed a 3 year recording/publishing/management deal with British Record Label f2f Music Limited. After a VIP signing hosted by The British Ambassador to Malta at her lovely residence on the 9th April 2009, I was soon appearing on the best TV, radio and live event shows in my beautiful country Malta. My debut single 'The Clapping Song' a remake of the 1960s Shirley Ellis classic, was playing on everyone's iPods in Malta. The single made it to number 1 on The People's charts and remained there for a record 3 weeks. 'The Clapping Song' had its UK release on the 8th June 2009 and is currently play listed in a lot of Main Radio Stations across Britain. Immediately after the song was released in Europe and is currently doing very well in Spain, Cyprus, Monaco, and Greece. Soon I will be headlining 2 big festivals in Malta and with a tour of London planned by my hard working Record label f2f Music Limited for August 2009, everything seems to be going great for me. Its a good start for me as i live my childhood dream. But before I go I must thank the people who mean so much to me... Graham Mulvein Record label Managing Director and Co Manager, Elton Zarb My Music Producer, My Family and all my fabulous team (they know who they are) who all work so hard for me. I wish to God that one day, I will be able to become an Internationally recognized artist, and when my music is doing great around the World, I will be able to share the success with them all. That is my promise. Well thank you very much Dikesh Prajapati and Recesscafe Team for your kind support. Love Sophie xx ( www.totallysophie.com )

Born on 20th April 1994 to a Maltese father and English mother Sophie with her first song on public at the age of 8, made her parents realize she was born to stand out in the crowd. In 2004 she was lucky enough to be one of the 40 artists selected to perform for the Welcome EU Celebrations and she was also tasted TV success for the first time when she was chosen to become the resident artist on the TV series Fit Tajjeb u il Hazin’ on TVM.

In 2005, Sophie was selected as the Goodwill Ambassador at the annual charity festival Heart of Gold and got to sing with a 9 piece live band to a 4000 capacity sell out crowd, and she was the youngest artist invited to sing before Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, at The CHOGM Malta. In September 2006, Sophie’s own composition Extra Cute, won the Junior Eurovision Malta Final and she was hugely honoured to represent Malta at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest Final, that year in Romania.

In 2007 Sophie participated in the Live Earth Malta Festival and she was thrilled to become the resident guest artist on TVM’s Hadd Ghalik playing to an estimated 80,000 viewers every Sunday. In 2008, Sophie featured in the Maltese summer entertainment Showbiz High. This prove to be the ultimate test to her multiple talents, as she choreographed major parts of the show, sang songs and even found time to write the lyrics to the title song. Later that year the entire cast was invited to London, to play 2 very special performances; UK Malta Day Celebrations at Westminster Cathedral Hall and at Young Performers UK at the Shaftesbury Theatre, in London’s West End. Both performances received standing ovations from packed audiences.

In November Sophie’s father sent her promotional video to a British indie Record Label who were searching for a talented singer/songwriter who they wanted to develop and eventually launch. In the meantime Sophie ended the year scoring a huge personal success playing Sharply Evans onstage in the Maltese production of Disney’s High School Musical. In early January 2009 Sophie was shortlisted to the final 3 people from thousands by the British indie record label f2f Music limited, as a result of their global search for a talented singer songwriter. Then in late January the record company had made their choice and signed Sophie to a 3 year recording, publishing, and management deal. Sophie was thrilled to be given this golden opportunity, as this is what she had always been dreaming of.

Immediately after this, Sophie teamed up with Maltese producer, Elton Zarb to work and create her debut single ‘The Clapping Song’, a cover of the 1960s Shirley Ellis classic. In the meantime f2f Music flew Sophie to London for an exclusive photo shoot with leading rock n roll photographer Sam Seager. This was an amazing experience for her and it gave her a massive boost of confidence.

On the 9^th April 2009, The British High Commissioner to Malta, hosted a VIP reception in her magnificent residence, to celebrate Sophie’s official signing to f2f Music. In May 2009 Sophie’s version of ‘The Clapping Song’ was doing amazingly well in Malta. It hit the Malta radio charts and managed to spend a record 3 weeks at number 1 on ‘The Malta People’s Music Chart’. Sophie was invited to be the Special Guest star and perform at the ‘Hannah Montana Movie Premiere’. On the 8^th June 2009 ‘The Clapping Song’ was released in the UK and on mainland Europe. The result was is that it is currently being play listed in the UK, Monaco, Spain, Greece and Cyprus.

Sophie also guest starred earlier this year at The Diet Coke Malta Fashion Awards, performing live in front of 5000 fans and an estimated TV audience of 1.5 billion people, and at the Melita Malta Football Awards. Her fan base continues to grow and her web site www.totallysophie.com is now getting approximately 47,000 hits per day.

On 6^th July she officially will be releasing her second single ‘K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)’, a single co-written by Sophie and her producer, Elton Zarb. The single will be officially released in Malta with appearances on Maltese TV and Radio. Then on Monday 24th August K.I.S.S. will be released in UK, Europe and The Rest of the World. 'K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid' is now available for download from itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes, amazon www.amazon.co.uk, napster www.napster.com and f2f music shop www.f2fco.co.uk/shop.
