Biography
Biography
Born to Iranian and Austrian parents in California, Royer began her studies in violin and viola at the Vienna Conservatoire. She withdrew from the institution to live between New York, London and Los Angeles, while she held a key role at Boiler Room in creative direction and business development, and was an NTS Radio resident DJ. During her time in Los Angeles, she worked at Stones Throw and brought artists including Mndsgn and Stimulator Jones to the label, as well as releasing her compilation Sofie's SOS Tape in 2016. In 2020, Sofie Royer released her self-produced debut album Cult Survivor, a collection of leftfield pop songs, on Stones Throw. In 2022, Sofie announced her second album for Stones Throw, Harlequin, with the single “Feeling Bad Forsyth Street”. The album blends Sofie's nostalgia for early aughts reality television and American mall punk subculture, with her passion for her native city Vienna's opera, ballet traditions and medieval performances. For the release, she collaborated on two music videos with Eugene Kotlyarenko who directed the satirical black comedy film Spree. Harlequin was released on 23 September 2022. In 2022, Sofie Royer featured on Toro y Moi’s album Mahal, and has previously collaborated with other musicians including MISS WORLD, Onoe Caponoe, &ME and others. In addition to her work in music, Sofie also studies Philosophy, Psychology and English at the Universitaet Wien, as well as painting at the University of Applied Arts, and plays violin with the Wiener Akademische Philharmonie. As an active artist, she has exhibited her work at L Art Galerie in Salzburg and at Pina in Vienna.
