Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Sophie Ellis-Bextor (geboren 10 april 1979) is een Britse zangeres. Ze was frontvrouw van de inmiddels opgeheven band theaudience. In 2000 werkte ze samen met DJ Spiller voor het project "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)". Haar muziek is een mengeling van eighties-discopop en hedendaagse dancegrooves. Ze dweept met Blondie, Madonna of Fiona Apple.
Sophie zorgde voor een van de opwindendste popmomenten uit 2002. Haar hitsingle 'Murder on the dancefloor' piekte wekenlang in nagenoeg alle hitlijsten. In 2002 was de song het meest gedraaide nummer in Europa.
In 2003 won ze een Edison in de categorie Best Dance.
Sindsdien bereikte Sophie haar eigen succesvolle solocarrière. Singles van haar zijn: Take Me Home (2001), Murder On The Dancefloor (2001), Get Over You (2002), Music Gets The Best Of Me (2002), Mixed Up World (2003), I Won't Change You (2003), Hello, Hello (2004), Love It's Love (2004) en Catch You (2006 - TBR) - New Single.
In 2004 werd zij moeder van een zoontje, Sonny genaamd.
