Sophie Juge

 

Sophie Jugé was born in the UK, with Dual Nationality. She speaks English and French fluently as well as speaking very good Spanish.

She started dancing at the age of 3 developing her love for ballet at the Susan Robinson School of Ballet. She explored her interest in music studying the Violin reaching ABRSM Grade 8 by the age of 14 and studying the Piano - ABRSM Performance Diploma.

Completing her GCSEs at Farnborough Hill Convent, Sophie studied her A Levels and a 3 year Musical Theatre Diploma Course at Elmhurst Ballet School. This is where she discovered her passion for singing taught by Principal Stella Skitch using Bel Canto technique. She graduated from  Elmhurst with 3 A levels, the Singing Award and a desire to develop her  voice further. She completed her vocal training at The London School of Musical Theatre .

Following graduation, Sophie enjoyed several musical theatre roles based in the West End and regionally however she had an overwhelming urge to put her academic skills to test and somehow found herself climbing the Corporate ladder culminating in an exciting 5 years spent at Microsoft UK as a Large Enterprise Account Manager and finally as a .NET Evangelist! By this time Sophie had far exceeded her corporate ambitions and longed to live a more creative life incorporating all of her passions and she now understood how this could be achieved.

Today, Sophie's life is never dull! She provides Vocal and Piano coaching to adults and children, is Musical Director of the Danesfield Singing Group, is a professional accompanist and of course pursues her love for performing!
