Sofia Grant is a folk jazz artist from London. A rising star on the UK jazz scene, she writes about our relationship with the natural world. Lyrically bold and vocally dextrous, her songs about permafrost, species decline and degradation of mountains place her at the cutting edge of climate and sound.
Her record 'Extinction' released on the iconic Jazz re:freshed label has been critically acclaimed, championed by UK giants such as Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova, Jamie Cullum on BBC Radio and Jazz FM.
WONDERLAND Magazine named Sofia a "searing talent", "musically progressive and thematically explorative" in her work, whilst Ezra Collective's Femi Koleoso (BBC Radio 6 Music) said: “really excited about this record by Sofia Grant and really excited to see what she gets up to next."
An experienced vocalist who has worked with UK jazz talents like Poppy Ajudha, she explores the role music can play in igniting climate action and the importance of song in ecological and environmental healing.
Sofia brings to SXSW exclusive first-plays of songs from her upcoming album 'generations' - due for release in 2025.
With her unique blend of folk and jazz, Sofia is one to watch in 2025.
