Sophie Noel

About

The artist

Sophie Noel is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, writer, producer, and engineer based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Their current artist-controlled website identifies them as a musician from Halifax and as a band or person based in Dartmouth, while its about page more precisely says they live in Dartmouth. A direct 2025 LOUD WOMEN interview independently records Dartmouth as home and Vancouver as their place of upbringing. Current festival and professional writer profiles also place them in Dartmouth. Sophie previously released music as Magnolia and now presents that catalog under the Sophie Noel identity. The artist-controlled Bandcamp profile explicitly identifies Sophie Noel as formerly known as Magnolia and carries both eras together. MusicList therefore resolves the discovery identity Magnolia to the current canonical name Sophie Noel instead of creating two profiles. The provider-scoped Spotify catalog joins four principal containers on the exact Magnolia identity with three on the exact Sophie Noel identity. All seven are led by the same artist and survive identity reconciliation. Spotify classifies all seven as singles, including the five-track Confluencer release. They span Donna in November 2021 through Ghost Ship in June 2026. Representative releases include Donna, Confluencer, Hurricane, I Think I Do This, and Ghost Ship. The artist-controlled Bandcamp catalog also includes the five-track altar chaser project from December 2025. Because that release was not found on either exact Spotify identity, it is discussed editorially but excluded from the numeric Spotify summary. Credits on altar chaser state that Sophie wrote, performed, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered the project. This explicit artist-controlled credit supports classification in both MusicList's artist and producer and engineer categories. Credits for I Think I Do This identify Mo Kenney as producer and Sophie as a co-mixing engineer, while Confluencer credits Hill Kourkoutis as producer and mixer. Those distinctions are preserved rather than assigning every production role to Sophie. Current milestones include appearances at LOUD WOMEN Fest Halifax, Nova Scotia Music Week, and the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival in 2025. Ghost Ship begins the next album cycle for After the Sun Hit the Roof and notes support from Arts Nova Scotia. Professional inquiries are routed to Sophie's current artist-controlled website. MusicList does not infer or republish a private contact address. The exact English and French payload was reviewed for the Magnolia-to-Sophie identity resolution, current Dartmouth residence, pronouns, active status, provider-scoped catalog, Bandcamp-only release distinction, production and engineering credits, collaborators, milestones, safe contact routing, provider-attributed media, and translation quality.
