Sophie Ellis-Bextor is a British singer, songwriter, and model who emerged onto the music scene as the frontwoman of the indie rock band theaudience in the late 1990s. Born on April 10, 1979, Ellis-Bextor first captured the public's attention with her distinctively clear, sharp vocals and striking presence. After the band's disbandment, she embarked on a solo career that quickly took off with her smash hit "Murder on the Dancefloor," which became a staple of early 2000s dance-pop and elevated her to international stardom.

Known for blending mainstream pop with electronic and disco influences, Sophie Ellis-Bextor's work epitomizes the glamour and exuberance of the dancefloor, with a sophisticated twist. Throughout her career, she has released a number of successful albums that showcase her versatility and strong sense of musicality. More recently, she has adapted to the changing music landscape by producing the Kitchen Disco series during the Covid-19 lockdowns—a set of live performances from her home, which brought joy and comfort to many amidst difficult times. Her appeal not only lies in her music but also in her ability to intimately connect with her audience, whether that be through her live shows, such as the energetic "Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Kitchen Disco (Live at The London Palladium)," or through her engaging social media presence. With records such as "HANA" and its subsequent remixes, and collaborative works like "DEEP IN VOGUE," Ellis-Bextor continues to innovate and refresh her sound while remaining a beloved fixture in the UK pop music scene.
