The fatal accident happened early on Saturday morning in Athens, where Sophie was based.

“Spiritual as she was, Sophie climbed onto a roof to see the full moon as she slipped and fell.

She will be here with us forever ", write the record companies Transgressive and Future Classic in a joint statement.

Sophie, who also went by the name Sophie Xeon, broke through in the early 2010s with house-scented pop singles such as "Nothing more to say" and "Bipp".

In the end, it was just a full-length album for Sophie, "Oil of every pearl's un-insides", which was released in 2018.

Now the artist is mourned by his friends and colleagues.

“The world has lost an angel.

A true visionary and one of the icons of our generation ", writes Sam Smith on Twitter.

“Sophie was a fantastic producer who stood up to the narrow-minded, normative society by being a complete success, both as an artist and a woman.

I can not understand that she is gone ", writes Héloïse Letissier, also known as Christine & the Quuens.

"Your music gave me so much joy," writes fellow artist Peaches.
