Grammy nominated musician Sophie, whose high intensity electronic productions pushed the boundaries of 21st century pop, has died at the age of 34, in a terrible accident on Saturday morning.
In 2018, Sophie’s debut album “Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides” earned the musician a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album. The song was one of the year’s best reviewed releases in any genres.
Sophie was transgender, which she discussed first in a 2018 interview with Paper magazine. Talking about herself, she said, “It means you are not a mother or a father, you are an individual who is looking at the world and feeling the world”.
Several artists paid tribute after the tragic death of late musician. British singer and songwriter Sam Smith took his Twitter handle to pen down some words of grief. He wrote, “Heartbreaking news. The world has lost an angel. A true visionary and icon of our generation. Your light will continue to inspire so many for generations to come. Thinking of Sophie’s family and friends at this hard time ❤️”.
