BIO: At first glance, one might wonder if she escaped from someone's knick-knack box or the page of a storybook filled with enchanted tales and unpredictable endings. Upon encounter, one may find the magnifying glass obsolete and that she does not fit well into confined spaces. No one knows for sure, but it has been speculated that Kung Fu Sophie's elusive roots were once grounded in the biggest little valley of a distant and dangerously explosive planet. It is believed that Kung Fu Sophie escaped the hostile and arid environment via a quickly constructed, self-made ark suitable for space travel. Fortunately, she was able to rescue a guitar, a piano, and her voice. After enduring a long and arduous journey through uncharted territory, Kung Fu Sophie unexpectedly landed on Planet Earth. Similar to the earthly likes of Regina Spektor, Laurie Anderson, Tori Amos, and Rickie Lee Jones.
