Sophie K is presenter of Kerrang Radio’s breakfast, Absolute Radio Weekends, Amazon Music and her succesful ‘On Wednesdays We Wear Black’ podcast. Sophie has presented her own show (Tube Screamer) for the UK’s most well known rock and metal channel Scuzz TV. She has also been cover presenter for the BBC Radio 1 Indie Show.

Sophie first fell in love with radio at the age of 12 where she presented a show for a national station in Uganda in East Africa earning her a UNICEF award nomination. When she moved back to her home town Huddersfield she decided to attend University in Manchester so that she could start presenting for Channel M.

It was when Sophie moved to London after her degree that she decided to become a specialist presenter within the alternative world. Faced with the challenge of not being the stereotypical rock music presenter Sophie started making her own YouTube content and launched one of the most popular shows on the online station Total Rock. All the while working as an assistant presenter on shopping TV gaining live experience and perfecting the skill of selling pens at 3am!

The sheer popularity of her music content was undeniable which landed Sophie a new music show on the DAB station Team Rock in 2014. Within one year the mainly self produced show was nominated for an Arquiva and Sophie had officially become the most well known presenter in the new rock scene.
