Sofia Stern

From the moment Sofia Stern could form a sound, her parents swore she was destined to sing. Born in the heart of Austria in Tyrol, Sofia grew up in a home filled with music. Her father, a self-taught pianist, often played old records in the evenings, while her mother sang harmonies as she cooked in the kitchen. It wasn’t just music in their house—it was the lifeblood of their family.

As a child, Sofia would hum melodies before she could even speak full sentences. “You’ve got music in your soul,” her father would say, lifting her onto the piano bench to plunk out her first notes. Her mother would join in, turning simple moments into impromptu performances. Sofia didn’t just learn music; she absorbed it, as naturally as breathing.

Her earliest memories were of standing on a stool, singing for family gatherings, her voice carrying a purity that silenced the room. “I was never nervous,” Sofia recalls. “It just felt like home.”

But life wasn’t always perfect. Growing up in a small village, Sofia’s big dreams felt out of place. She often faced skepticism, with neighbors telling her to focus on “realistic goals.” Yet, her family’s unwavering belief in her talent kept her grounded. Her parents would drive hours so she could perform at talent shows, local festivals, and even church services.

At 16, Sofia took a bold step. She auditioned for a regional singing competition, her first time performing for an audience beyond her village. Her voice, both powerful and tender, captivated the judges. Though she didn’t win, that performance marked the beginning of her journey.

Sofia’s songs, much like her personality, radiate warmth and sincerity. Drawing inspiration from her roots, she blends traditional Austrian melodies with modern pop influences, creating a sound that feels timeless yet fresh. Her lyrics, often inspired by personal experiences, speak of love, longing, and the beauty of life’s simple moments.

Today, Sofia Stern is more than just a singer—she’s a storyteller. Her voice carries the echoes of her childhood, the lessons of her parents, and the dreams of the girl who sang on a stool in her family’s living room.

In Sofia’s words:
“Music is my way of connecting with people. It’s how I share my heart with the world. And it all started in that little house, with my family’s songs wrapping around me like a warm embrace.”
