17-04-02 news EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Sophie Murders the Dublin Dancefloor...

Stylish songstress Sophie Ellis-Bextor kicked off her first tour in Dublin on Monday night and ShowBizIreland.com was there.

Playing to a capacity crowd at the Olympia, the 23 year-old performed well-known hits, such as Murder on the Dancefloor, and her new single, Get Over You.

ShowBizIreland.com caught up with Sophie to congratulate her on the huge success she has had as a solo artist.

"I've never really been sure about how appealing I am as an individual. I'm not someone that's kind of very good at being very smiley and doing the dancing thing, so I'm not very sure at how far it's going to take me. I think there's always going to be a little section of people it works for - but the other bit I don't know", she modestly professed.

Sophie started her career with indie band theaudience, she first came to chart prominence with Italian DJ Spiller when she provided the vocals for the dance anthem of 2000, Groove Jet.

Since then her brand of electro-pop, via the album Read My Lips, has made a huge splash.

Despite her glamorous appearance, Sophie Ellis - Bextor does not buy into the celebrity lifestyle, choosing to travel with her band on her tour bus instead of flying first class.

"I'm really not someone that's particularly interested in fame itself. You get older and you're just not that fussed. And now I kind of shy away from a lot of it. I don't really go to any sort of parties and film premieres", she told us.

So what's next for her? "I've got two new singles coming out in June. Hopefully a bigger UK tour in the autumn".

We look forward to it!
