London’s first and only songwriting-specific postgraduate Masters programme. A highly creative and personalised journey, designed to enable students to examine, explore and focus on both practical writing and songwriting education.

From childhood to university, Sophie studied classical music, literature, and musical theatre. Her adult career in music began with songwriting and performing in band projects and musicals. She pursued a dual profession from the start of her employment, combining music teaching and performing with a job at the BBC. She then progressed through roles at major record labels whilst writing and performing as a singer-songwriter.

ICMP’s Sophie Daniels performed at Houses of Parliament for Baby Loss Awareness Week. The service, organised by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Baby Loss, saw our MA Songwriting Programme Leader perform an original song, ‘I Can Love You From Here’, written for her daughter Liberty who sadly passed away in January 2011.

Yesterday, for the second time, I got the opportunity to play my original song at The Houses of Parliament. This is why and what happened…My daughter, Liberty, died in 2011 and I wrote a song for her soon afterwards to express, (or perhaps to make sense of), what to do with the only thing I had left of her – A limitless amount of love. The song is called ‘I Can Love You From Here’ and I had played it at various informal events, but it had not really had any kind of platform for people to hear it outside my friendship group or my students.
