SOPHIE FATU: The Making of "Love Is..." DOCUMENTARY - Part 1 - Sophie meets musicians

Sophie Fatu's first EP "Love Is..." was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, CA. She recorded in the classic iconic room where Frank Sinatra himself recorded.

In Part 1 or our series you'll follow Sophie as she enters the studio and meet the legendary musicians who contributed to the Extraordinary Big Band Sound. We hope you enjoy sharing this day with all of us as much as we enjoyed living it.

Sophie started her singing career at the age of 4, when she was featured on NBC's "Little Big Shots" with Steve Harvey. Her viral videos of Sinatra covers earned the love of fans all over the world. At the age of 5, Sophie was first invited to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she performed "Fly Me to the Moon". Sophie Fatu’s audition for AGT consisted of singing Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”. She appeared on Season 13 of America’s Got Talent.

It takes a village to make an EP as special as “Love Is…” starting with Executive Producer Greg Curtis and co-Producer/“Mom-ager” Victoria Fatu. Greg spent 21 years in the publishing, recording, and creative development areas of the music entertainment business. He is also the Founder and President of Extraordinary Records & Extraordinary Artists, ventures born from a deeply connected and genuine love of music and the music creators.

We assembled a team of legacy musicians to support Sophie in her first EP. Music Contractor Joe Soldo, Music Recording Engineer Gary Lux, Piano Player Tom Ranier, Bass Player Chuck Berghofer, Drummer Jeff Hamilton, and Bari Sax Player Gene “Cip” Cipriano to name a few. Vocals and mix by Tony Friedman. Conductor/Arranger Rob Wasilauski. Sophie was also supported by her father, World Renowned Violinist Cristian Fatu.
