Sophia received her Master of Music (Performance Teaching) from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne, and her Bachelor of Classical Music (Hons.) from UCSI University as a scholarship recipient, majoring in classical cello, and minoring in classical voice. Her broad interest in different musical styles and genres, and her pursuit of versatility as a musician, has led her to complete a grade 8 Rockschool Popular Vocals exam with distinction and was awarded with the Rockstar Award 2016.

Hailing from Penang, the Pearl of the Orient, Sophia has been actively performing in Kuala Lumpur since 2012. Some of the highlights include performing as the lead vocalist of the former jazz-pop fusion band, SKAZZ, and the cellist of the string quartet, Strings Attached Quartet. During her time in Melbourne, she has also sung at the National Gallery of Victoria as a jazz vocal-piano group, Aurore Duet, and was also the cellist and vocalist of jazz octet, BLEUM.

Sophia’s teaching experience includes years of one-to-one vocal and instrumental teaching, as well as rehearsing and conducting string ensembles. As a teacher, she strives to provide a student-oriented music learning experience by recognizing that every student is unique and different, and tailors her lessons to fit each individual student. Sophia strongly believes that music education is for everyone across all boundaries.
