27-year-old Sophie Lloyd is a composer and guitar player who graduated from BIMM in 2018 with a First Class Honors BMus in Popular Music Performance, according to her website.
“I started playing guitar when I was around 10 years old after listening to Led Zeppelin in the car with my dad,” she wrote. “Because I was a bit of an outcast, I had a lot of time to [practice] and this gave me an escape from reality, helped me overcome my anxieties and really gave me a sense of [fulfillment].”
Lloyd rose to fame on YouTube, earning over 100 million views on her music videos. She has collaborated with brands like Amazon Prime, Hard Rock Café, LiveNation, and Harley Davidson, and has her own guitar course on Truefire. She performed at Paris Fashion Week for Redemption Brand Clothing.
Lloyd joined Machine Gun Kelly’s Mainstream Sellout World Tour, which included sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York and Wembley Arena in London.
“I’ve gone on to meet so many amazing people and gone on to do things I only dreamed of,” the guitarist wrote. “The fact that this is my career is still [mind-blowing] to me.”
Besides playing with Machine Gun Kelly, the London-born musician is also working on her debut solo album.

Like if someone falls in the moshpit everyone stops to help him up.”
