Sophie B. Hawkins is a singer-songwriter and Grammy Award nominee, born and raised in New York, NY. Her platinum debut album, "Tongues and Tails," featured the indelible Top 10 single “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover” and was followed by her next platinum release, "Whaler," which contained several hits including the longest-running single in Billboard Adult Contemporary chart history, “As I Lay Me Down.”

She successfully fought her record label over creative control of the mix for “Lose Your Way,” the lead single off of her third album, "Timbre," which was featured on Dawson's Creek and the Bounce motion picture soundtrack. After winning this dispute, Sophie became an independent artist and released three more albums on her own imprint, Trumpet Swan Records.

The last two decades have brought multiple awards, sold-out concerts, songs in current movies and on television, memorable appearances on screen including the NBC series Community, the acclaimed documentary film The Cream Will Rise, and a critically-lauded performance as Janis Joplin in the nationally touring play Room 105. Released in 2023, her most recent album, "Free Myself," featured the self-affirming single “Love Yourself,” which climbed to #3 on the UK dance charts.

A dynamic creative force known for a spellbinding live show that all but erases the divide between audience and performer, Sophie is hitting the road again in 2025, celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Whaler, which coincides with the upcoming release of her ninth album, "Whaler Re-Emerging."

“Whaler was an incredibly adventurous time of my life, making my second record in London, meeting my teenage inspirations, living a dream I’d imagined since childhood,” recalls Sophie. “The songs are warm and happy and I love getting to know this part of me again, and presenting them in a whole new way.”
