Sophie Kilburn is a Derbyshire born singer, songwriter who merges melancholic pop with fiery indie-rock. Her bold sonic fusion of old-school rocker & modern pop warrior is inspired by genre shifting heroes like Patti Smith, HAIM and Big Thief with a heavy emphasis on lyrics & storytelling.

From releasing her debut EP My Room Made Public back in 2021, Sophie gained immediate support from BBC Introducing, with 2x Track of the Week, with features on Flux FM, charting on Amazing Radio UK and US, as well as being called ‘truly a one to watch’ by 1883, Notion and Lock Magazine alongside Rag n Bone Man and Orla Gartland, ending the year supporting MBE Shirley Collins at Camden Roundhouse.

In 2023, Sophie returned with second EP Not Bitter Just Bored ending with a sold out headline show at The Grace, London. The EP was again praised by BBC Introducing landing three Track of the Weeks’s, playlisting on the Student Union Network’s top pick list, as well as featured in The Independent ‘Now Hear This’ alongside Maggie Rogers, Dolores Forever & Gia Ford. Sophie also opened the Access All Areas series curated by John Kennedy at Radio X, leading to a live Radio X session where John Kennedy hailed her ‘as an amazing singer, an amazing song writer. You can only love Sophie Kilburn’, as well as playlisting on the X-posure List alongside Blossoms and Prima Queen.

Sophie recently released her third EP Don’t Make Me Angry, produced by award winning Oli Deakin (CMAT Mercury Prize Shortlisted Album ‘Euro Country’). The project has gained massive support from BBC 6 Music Steve Lamacq and the Head of the BBC 6 Music team, Cam Pia for its ‘meaningful songwriting and catchy melodies’, whilst landing 2x Radio X’s ‘Hot One’, one alongside Vampire Weekend. BBC Introducing has also fully backed the project with Dean Jackson choosing Sophie as one of his BBC Orbit Artist to Watch. The project has also gained backing from across the pond from Sirius XM, plus achieving multiple Apple and Deezer Editorial support, Amazing Radio UK/US, Future Hits and Student Radio Networks national playlist alongside Alfie Templeman, Divorce and Holly Humberstone.

Currently, Sophie is working once more with Oli Deakin on her next EP project ‘Erratic Dancing’, which explores life’s messiness and mundanity and the different ways in which we escape from it.
