Sophia Shorai, a contemporary jazz vocalist and singer/songwriter, has been a mainstay on the Twin Cities music scene since 2004. Born in Bindura, Zimbabwe (hence, her middle name Shorai), she began classical piano and voice training at age five. She spent her early childhood mimicking the voices and instrumentation of jazz legends in her father’s record collection. Then, this gave rise to exploring the Golden Age of standards in her early teens.
