My name is Sophie O'Shea and I am a Junior at the Palos Verdes Peninsula High School in Los Angeles County.

I started singing with the South Bay Children's Choir when I was 7, and since 2020 I have been a part of their advanced group, Bel Canto. I have also been singing with my high school choir for the last 3 years and joined their musical theater productions.

I have been selected to sing with numerous honor choirs. One of the highlights has been singing as a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Honor Orchestra in 2023 and yo sing at the Canterbury Cathedral with the South Bay Childrens Choir.

In addition to performing, I enjoy working as a choir section leader at a local church and after high school, my goal is to continue my musical education in classical voice in college. When I am not singing, I enjoy playing the violin, hiking, baking, reading, and of course, listening to music.
