Sophie Jamieson

U.K. singer and songwriter Sophie Jamieson emerged in the 2010s with a series of intimately personal and candid songs. Following a handful of EPs arranged mostly for a band, her full-length debut, 2022's Choosing, was inspired by battles with alcohol addiction and consisted of starker arrangements centered on electric guitar or piano. Based in London, Jamieson started writing songs as a teen and cites Elena Tonra, Sharon Van Etten, and Scott Hutchison among her later songwriting inspirations. She started playing live while living in Cambridge and taking in the university music scene. A Ben Walker-produced EP titled Where appeared in 2013 and led to an inclusion on Folkroom Records' Anthology Two compilation. The double A-side "Stain/Other" followed in 2014. In the meantime, a bad recording session and mental breakdown ultimately resulted in a six-year break from music. The first of a pair of self-released EPs, hammer EP, appeared in March 2020 featuring hazy electric guitar and keyboard songs, usually with a rhythm section. Arriving in December of the same year, the four-song release EP, if slightly sparer, followed suit. Jamieson stripped down arrangements further for her markedly personal first album, which had been written during peaks and valleys of struggles with alcohol. Produced and engineered by prior collaborator Steph Marziano (Hayley Williams, Bartees Strange), Choosing arrived on the Bella Union label in December 2022. It was accompanied by tour dates in support of Willy Mason.
