Sophie Zelmani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sophie Zelmani (born February 12, 1972 in Stockholm as Sophie Edkvist) is a Swedish singer-songwriter who released her first single in 1995, called "Always You".

Early life

Born in the suburbs of Stockholm in 1972, Zelmani's father bought the family a guitar when Zelmani was 14.[1] Despite no professional music training,[1] Zelmani became a songwriter and recorded some songs at a local studio. After she mailed the demos to three record companies, Zelmani was offered a record deal by Sony Music Sweden.


Career

Sophie Zelmani[1] recorded her debut self-titled album with Sony in 1995. The album was produced and arranged by Lars Halapi[2] (co-produced by Patrik Sventelius), who also played guitar. She described the process of making the album: "In the beginning Lars and I spent a few months in the studio. We had fun and then picked the musicians. We recorded in two weeks but the whole thing took half a year."[3] By 1997, Zelmani's debut album had sold 200,000 copies in Europe and Asia Pacific, before moving to the US market, distributed by Columbia Records.[4] Zelmani said, "I had no ambitions to go abroad. I knew I wanted to make a record. That's all I wanted."[3] Columbia's marketing campaign included CD sampler giveaways, consumer press, and rotation on SAS Airlines flights between Scandinavia and the US.[5]

Zelmani has continued to record albums while making only a small number of public appearances due to shyness.[1] She won a best newcomer award in Sweden's Grammy awards in 1996.[6]

Mosical 回複 悄悄話 回複蘇鄉門地的評論:
She does have a very gentle and sweet voice.

I like Kevin kern's music a lot.
I did not listen a lot to the Chinese pop music. It's a blind spot to me. :-)

Have a wonderful weekend!

By the way, Kevin's A Thousand Miles Away is a much appreciated version than the song by HK pop singer :))
