„sophie ellis-bextor“ was born on April 10, 1979 in London and grew up as the daughter of a television presenter and a program director. As a young adult, she met DJ and musician Billy Reeves one night in a London club and a little later found herself in his band “the audience” again. The band was soon history again and she devoted herself to various modeling jobs. But the music wasn’t forgotten: in 2000, he collaborated with the Italian DJ Spiller, on whose single “groovejet (if this ain’t love)“ she was allowed to sing. The single conquered the British charts and paved the way for a solo career. Her first single was a cover version of Cher’s “Take Me Home” in 2001, followed by the songs “Murder on the Dancefloor” and “Get Over You”. In 2001 she finally released her debut album “read my lips„.

A little later she finally released the fourth single “Music Gets Best of Me” and started a tour that also took her across the borders of Great Britain. In 2003, Ellis-Bextor was nominated for a British award, shook off the next cover version “One Way or Another” by Blondie and went into the studio to record the second album “shoot from the hipto record and publish. but commercial success failed to materialize.

In 2007 her third album “trip the light fantastic”, then went on tour with Take That and then on a solo tour. This was followed by the next pregnancy and the next child; the single “Bittersweet” was only released in 2010 and the album “Bittersweet” was released a little later in 2011.make a scene“. And her career continued in a similar rhythm: her fifth album “wanderlust” was released in 2014, her sixth “family“ in 2016. Sophie Ellis-Bextor was now a mother of four and had her fifth child in 2019. The artist then released two best-of albums: “The Song Diaries” (2019) and “Songs from the Kitchen Disco (2020). It wasn’t until June 2023 that her seventh studio album “hana“. And this latest album is now also the reason for a tour through the UK, Europe, North America and Canada as well as Australia.
The disco queen can also be seen at WUK in Vienna for an appointment, unfortunately the concert is already sold out. One can only hope that this is not just the case because of the film Saltburn and their hit soundtrack “Murder on the Dancefloor”. In any case: if you feel like dancing and are looking for a ticket, don’t give up hope! Maybe someone else gets sick and can’t go? In any case, keep an eye on the resale platforms, it pays off!
