Grammy nominated producer Sophie Xeon, 34, slipped and fell to her death on Saturday, 30 January 2021 in an apartment during her stay in Athens. A police spokesperson said that there is no suspicion of foul play.
The Glasgow-born disc jockey, producer and recording artist is a popular transgender woman. Sophie had begun her career in 2009 and gained prominence as one of the contributors to Madonna’s 2015 single “Bitch I’m Madonna.”
She had some other less popular music contributions with her singles such as “Bipp” (2013) and “Lemonade” (2015).
