DJ Bevo talks to Sofie Bozzetti in Adelaide.Sofie Bozzetti is a singer songwriter based in Adelaide, South Australia. In her early years she learnt classical piano, aged 5, and made the transition to guitar and vocals aged 13. From here she began performing small charity shows which eventually developed into regular gigs (around age 17.) Her unique style is somewhat a mish-mash of genres heavily influenced by contemporary jazz artists, such as Kimbra, and softer indie artists, such as Missy Higgins and Angus and Julia Stone. Other influences include Lana Del Rey, Jack River, Billie Eilish, and Angus and Julia Stone to name a few. Although these modern artists have a huge influence on her writing technique and sound, her repertoire is never short of diversity and always brings a mix of "old" and "new" in her own style..Treating each venue uniquely and tailoring her performance to suit the audience always achieves the "wow factor." Apart from this, Sofie experiments with software generated sounds using a TC Helicon Voicelive Touch 2 and computer generated tracks to add depth to her originals to create more commercial and adaptive sounds for recordings. She uses this, as well as her custom built stomp box to add interest to live shows.Sofie also DJ's.
