Born in the city of Thionville in northeastern France on 18 July 1969, Sophie
Huriaux, aka French singer-songwriter La Grande Sophie, grew up in Port-de-Bouc
near Marseille and began developing an ear for music at a young age. She picked
up a guitar aged nine and formed a band with her brother and neighbour called
Entrée interdite at the age of 13. It was during her tenure with Entrée
interdite that she was able to cut her teeth as a songwriter, composing songs
for the group as well as singing lead vocals. Her next move saw her perform at
France's first Fête de la Musiqie in June...
