Sofie was only 11 years old when she auditioned for The Voice Kids Germany in 2017. She won that season. Her amazing Édith Piaf Blind Audition blew the coaches away. The 11-year-old loves to improvise best because it allows her to let her emotions run free. “Music runs in my family,” explains the student. “My brothers and I were given this gift. For as long as I can remember, music has always been at home with us.”
