Bios:
SOFFIE VIEMOSE is originally from Roskilde, Demark. She moved to Boston in 2007 to attend Berklee College of Music after receiving a scholarship. Soffie was featured on the 2008 Berklee Electronica compilation and was a finalist in the International John Lennon Songwriting contest for her single "Try". She has produced several music videos working with Danish visual artist Naja Ankarfeldt and is currently in the processing of recording her first album. Soffie's songs are supported by frosty, tranquil textures and minimalist, glitchy electronic beats, and feature her bold but delicate voice.
TIM TSANG is a Moogist, classical pianist, keyboardist, composer, and sound designer who plays and writes electronica, hip hop, and rock. Originally born in Hong Kong and raised in Vancouver, Canada, Tsang grew up mainly with classical influences, having begun piano studies at age five. After being awarded with an entrance scholarship, he went on to study Piano Performance at UBC (University of British Columbia), one of the biggest and most prestigious music programs in Canada. Having studied with renowned pianist/teacher Henri-Paul Sicsic (4th generation in lineage of Chopin), Tsang was well on his way to becoming a force in the world of Classical Music.
