Sonja Kraushofer - Vocals
Sonja Kraushofer was born on November 6th, 1978 in the zodiac sign of Scorpio in Baden near Vienna/ Austria. Even when she was a little child her love for arts was supported by her family. She received piano and ballet lessons and at the age of 16 she finally started to take singing lessons even though she had always wanted to become a dancer. After graduating from highschool she studied voice, dance and performing arts at the "Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst" (University of Music and Performing Arts) in Vienna. In summer 2000 she graduated from university as a musical performer and thus her hobby became her profession. At the tender age of 17 the ardent singer joined L`ÂME IMMORTELLE.
Since summer 2001 Sonja has also started a solo career. Together with Martin Höfert she is head of the band PERSEPHONE where she can indulge her passion for acoustic instruments. In 2005 Sonja rediscovered the musical and has hitherto been part of the Ensemble Herzbruchstück.
