Sofia Sarri
H Σοφία Σαρρή μεγάλωσε στα Χανιά της Κρήτης όπου ξεκίνησε να ασχολείται με τη μουσική στα 16 της παίζοντας σε μια metal μπάντα με άκρατο ενθουσιασμό.
Ξεκινά να αυτοσχεδιάζει τακτικά με την κολεκτίβα των Paracrousis εκτονώνοντας την περιέργεια της για τα όρια της ανθρώπινης φωνής ενώ στη συνέχεια ως μέλος των Night On Earth ενσωματώνεται στην αθηναϊκή indie και πειραματική σκηνή με βασική στέγη το Μικρό Μουσικό Θέατρο. Με τους Night on Earth κυκλοφορούν τον ομώνυμο πρώτο τους δίσκο το 2006. Το 2008 ξεκινούν μια δισκογραφική και συναυλιακή συνεργασία με τον τραγουδοποιό Θανάση Παπακωσταντίνου και κυκλοφορούν το άλμπουμ “Second Hand” με παραγωγό το ίδιο. Παράλληλα συμμετέχει σε μια πληθώρα μουσικών project δοκιμάζοντας τις δυνάμεις της ως performer όπως η a cappella γυναικεία ομάδα, Σανάδες. Οι Σανάδες μαζί με το beatbox ντουέτο των Word of Mouth παρουσιάζουν τη μουσική α καπέλα παράσταση τους, σε πλήθος συναυλιακών χώρων και φεστιβάλ (Ε.Φ, Αθηναΐδα, Μέγαρο Μουσικής, Υιακύνθεια).
Έχει επίσης συνεργαστεί με καλλιτέχνες της εγχώριας σκηνής (Θανάσης Παπακωσταντίνου, Φοίβος Δεληβοριάς, Νίκος Πορτοκάλογλου κ.ά.) και συμμετέχει σε γκρουπ και μουσικά σύνολα όπως οι πειραματιστές Luup, το αυτοσχεδιαστικό LYD quartet και οι Borderline Syndrome.
