Sophia Kennedy is an American singer-songwriter, grown up and living mostly in Germany. Her music style is indie pop and electropop. She is based in Hamburg.
Kennedy was born in Baltimore, Maryland[1] to an American father and mother, who re-married a German. She has two brothers.[citation needed] When she was five years old,[2] the family moved to a village in central Germany near Göttingen.[1] They continued to speak English at home but Kennedy quickly learned German in Kindergarten. She later moved to Hamburg to attend university.[3] Kennedy has said that music brings back her American roots commenting that "I always go there [to Baltimore] in my mind when I'm making music, not to the city in particular, but to the conflict of growing up far away as a kid... I can barely speak English properly anymore – but having that American accent in my voice when I sing, it's the feeling that that's the part of me that's still there."[4]
