Since Sophie von Plomgren could talk, she has been a singer/songwriter, but she has been composing formally on piano and guitar since the age of 13. She has acquired an Honours Bachelor of Music Degree and recorded three self-composed albums. She has also obtained a Forensic Science degree, majoring in forensic psychology at Western Sydney University where she remains an advocate for the university featuring on their website, buses and promotions for reasons why forensic science is a fundamental field for society and life. Sophie has almost finished her Juris Doctorate in Law from University of Technology, Sydney.

She has composed music for various charities including Beyond Blue Australia where her song “Beyond the Blue” was featured on their website. She has also worked with children’s charities, the Teddy Bear’s Picnic and a Tsunami Relief concert entitled “Raise the Roof” where she composed a song for a family friend Carl Axel von Platen who sadly perished in the Indian Ocean Tsunami tragedy in 2004.

Sophie was working as a transcriptionist for the Australian courts of Law and Police. She believes working for the criminal justice system can be an emotionally exhausting experience. It’s for this reason Sophie loves to write, compose, record music, and write books with illustrations which can assist in developing a child’s reading skills, musicality, knowledge, and imagination in her spare time.

Her collection of books with songs and illustrations include ‘Keep Our Animals Safe’, ‘Blackbird’, ‘If I Was A Mermaid’, ‘Oh Africa’, ‘Do You Believe In Magic?’, ‘Lucy Love’, ‘Lucy Lullaby’, ‘B-E-A-U-T-(WH)-Y?’, ‘When I’m In Sweden’, ‘I’m In Amsterdam’, ‘Iceland, I Love You!’, ‘Australia’, ‘Lonely London Day’, ‘The Indian Elephant’, ‘Santa Lucia’s Christmas’, ‘Einstein’, ‘Anne Frank’, ‘Nelson Mandela’ and ‘Amelia Earhart’.

Sophie hopes that children and adults with an imagination and a heart enjoy reading and listening to her books as much as she loves writing them.
