Sophie Xeon, the influential Scottish musician and producer who reshaped pop music with her blend of avant-garde electronica, has sadly passed away today at the age of thirty-four following a tragic accident. The Grammy-nominated artist, who created her own music and worked on production for Charli XCX, Kim Petras, Vince Staples, Nicki Minaj and Madonna, died in the early morning after a fall off a balcony in her home in Athens, Greece.
After receiving a keyboard as a birthday gift, Sophie began to create new music as a child, realizing at that time she wanted to become a producer. As a young adult, she joined the band, Motherland and worked with the record label and art collective, PC Music. Deciding to remain fairly anonymous early in her career by concealing her identity in interviews, Sophie came forward as a trans woman, appearing publicly for the first time in the music video of her song, "It's Okay To Cry" in 2017. This was followed by the release her debut album, "Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides", a critically acclaimed work that earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album and ignited a passionate fanbase. Sophie's career was just beginning and the world has sadly lost a bold musical visionary far too soon.
