Soffel

Artist, Songwriter & Producer

Soffel is an independent Ukrainian artist crafting dark-pop songs that feel like intimate conversations. Honest, cinematic, and a little melancholic, her music blends layered synths, fragile piano, and intimate vocals. Writing and producing every track herself, she collaborates only with engineers for mixing and mastering.

Extended Bio

Soffel is an independent Ukrainian artist, songwriter, and producer whose music inhabits the space between fragility and strength. Writing and producing every track herself, she blends intimate vocals, layered synths, and delicate piano motifs into soundscapes that feel both cinematic and deeply personal. Her songs speak to the weight we carry but rarely voice, turning silence into an instrument as vital as melody.

She develops each piece from the first lyric to the final arrangement, recording vocals both independently and in studio sessions. This self-sufficient approach preserves an unfiltered honesty — one that resonates through bass-driven arrangements, atmospheric textures, and a reflective, melancholic tone.

Before adopting the moniker Soffel in 2024, she explored music through early instrumental releases in 2015. Her debut album Moonlight Whispers (2025) introduced tracks like Disappear, Midnight Sun, and Careless Anxiety. Building on that foundation, she is preparing her second full-length album, Even Oceans Fall Apart (2026), led by singles including the room, belong, and painted in lavender.
