With a voice that feels like both a warm embrace and a passionate shout, Sophie B. Hawkins carved her niche in the '90s music scene. This New York City native, who initially honed her skills as a percussionist at the Manhattan School of Music, shifted gears to become a revered singer-songwriter. She burst onto the airwaves with infectious tracks like "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down," blending rock and pop into an unforgettable sound.
