Sophie Lloyd: Official Artist Booking & DJ Profile
Background
Sophie Lloyd is a London-based house and disco DJ and producer. She has been DJing and releasing music for over 20 years. She is on the Onit Bookings roster.
The Sound
Soulful house, disco, gospel-leaning house, classic vocal house. She has described her own productions as “happy music.” Best-suited bookings: Glitterbox-style nights, summer rooftops, festival main rooms that need lift.
Glitterbox and Defected
Sophie is a Glitterbox resident, which has put her on Defected Records festival lineups in Ibiza, Croatia, Malta, and London. She also presents a regular show on Defected Broadcasting House.
The Defected Broadcasting House show on YouTube is the easiest place to hear a full Sophie Lloyd set before booking.
“Calling Out”
In 2018 Sophie signed to Classic Music Company. Her single Calling Out, with Detroit trio Dames Brown, has passed 15 million Spotify streams. It is a gospel-leaning house record and is the track most casual listeners will know her for.
She also has releases on Greg Wilson’s A&R label, Paper Recordings, and MTA.
Festivals and venues
Stages she has played include:
- Glastonbury (closed the Greenpeace stage)
- Tomorrowland
- Hii Ibiza (main stage)
- Drumsheds, London
- Koko, London
Add ongoing Glitterbox dates in Ibiza, Croatia, Malta, and London on top.
Radio
- Defected Broadcasting House (Defected’s own station)
- 1BTN (Brighton-based independent station)
Both are useful before booking her, to hear how she selects.
Why online visibility matters
Most bookings now start with a Google search. A promoter types in a name, a sound, or a brand they want and works through the first page of results. If Sophie’s roster page, social, and recent mixes show up there, the booking conversation starts. If they do not, it goes to someone else.
What this looks like for Sophie Lloyd
Sophie’s online presence has 3 jobs:
- Search coverage: show up for queries around Glitterbox, Defected, “Calling Out,” and Classic Music Company.
- Clear booking path: a live Onit Bookings page, a working email, recent set links, current bio.
- Proof of activity: recent gigs, recent mixes, and 2026 dates so promoters can see she is active.
