Sofie Royer

About

Sofie Royer is a Vienna-born, Los Angeles-based polymath whose music feels like a kaleidoscopic journey through time and space. Blending baroque pop, electronic textures, and a touch of retro nostalgia, Royer’s sound is as eclectic as her background—spanning classical piano training, DJing, and a deep love for vintage aesthetics. Her music is a sonic collage, weaving together influences from French chanson, 70s soft rock, and avant-garde electronica, creating a sound that is both timeless and distinctly modern. Royer first gained attention as a DJ and curator, crafting mixtapes that showcased her encyclopedic knowledge of obscure gems. Her debut album, *Cult Survivor* (2020), marked her transition from behind the decks to center stage, earning critical acclaim for its lush production and introspective lyricism. Tracks like “Bored in the City” and “Sweat” became instant favorites, cementing her reputation as a rising star in the indie scene. Beyond her solo work, Royer has collaborated with artists like Blood Orange and Dev Hynes, further solidifying her place in the avant-garde music landscape. Her artistry extends beyond music, with a keen eye for visual storytelling and fashion that complements her retro-futuristic sound. Currently, Royer continues to push boundaries, experimenting with new sounds and narratives. Her recent projects hint at a deeper exploration of identity and place, proving that she is not just an artist but a cultural alchemist, transforming the past into something entirely new.
