Sophia Ammann is the former frontwoman of band Little Dots and band Ansatz Der Maschine. In recent years she has toured most extensively with the project “Sophia Ammann plays Leonard Cohen” through many sold out concerts in Belgium. The same project has brought her to play for audiences in Nepal (2019) and Canada (2017, 2023, 2024).
Now she is ready to forge her own path with her solo debut album called “Here I Am”. The album has been well received with daytime rotation on Belgian Radio (Radio1).
“Here I Am” is an album full of distinctive and cinematic songs that tell a compelling story. Ammann has a rich visual language with a hint of magical realism that will effortlessly draw you into her world. For the recording of the album she went to America (Eau Claire, Wisconsin) in March 2024 to work with producer Shane Leonard (Josh Ritter, Anna Tivel).
