Sophie Moleta

Sophie Moleta is a New Zealand-Australian singer, songwriter, composer and teacher with an intimate singing style. She provides folk pop with piano-backed vocals and also covers other genres from dance and house music, electronic ambient to laid back jazz. Moleta was born in Wellington, New Zealand, but had moved to Perth, Western Australia early 1970s. Her father, Vincent Bartolo Moleta, was a writer, publisher and historian, who retired in 2000 and her mother, classical accompanist was Christine Oakley. From the age of four she received classical music lessons from her mother. Moleta's non-classical music career started with a local Perth punk band, the Brautigans as backup vocalist and drummer. Two of Moleta's tracks, "Can You" and "111 Taranaki St", are included on the Various Artists' compilation album, Runner: A Compilation of New Zealand Music. Joshua Glazer of AllMusic described her "haunting piano and whispered vocals". Her early album, Trust, was self published. She relocated to France in 1999. For her next album, Dive, the artist worked with French producer Hector Zazou, who recorded it at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios. From Wikipedia (
