SOHN

Born in South London as Christopher Taylor, SOHN initially got into music by learning how to play the guitar and piano. His first solo project, Trouble Over Tokyo, was indie elctro/ alternative music with which he released an EP and four full-length albums from 2005 to 2012. As Trouble Over Tokyo, Taylor earned himself a solid underground following, however he decided to dissolve the project altogether. He reinvented himself as SOHN and in 2012 relocated to Vienna, Austria.

In August 2010 he released his first two songs, “Warnings” and “Oscilate,” as SOHN and a month later announced the release of an EP with Aesop Label (record label). Before the release of the EP he released another two songs, “The Wheel” and “Red Lines” that received critical acclaim and boosted excitement for the upcoming EP. The EP, entitled “The Wheel” was released in November 2012 both as digital and vinyl copies.

In April SOHN signed with 4AD and released his first single “Bloodflows” around the same time. The single gained high praise with Pitchfork claiming it “a vocal showcase.” In September of the same year he released another single entitled “Lessons” online, followed by a vinyl copy release in November. SOHN also worked very closely producing other artists such as Banks, Lana Del Rey and Rhye. By April 2014 SOHN released his first full-length album, “Tremors.”
