Sofi Tukker is a Grammy-nominated dance-pop duo made up of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, known for a vibrant sound that blends house music with Brazilian influence and Portuguese-language elements. Since forming in New York after meeting at Brown University, they have built a strong identity through playful, high-energy music and a style that feels both global and unmistakably their own. Tracks like “Drinkee” and “Best Friend” helped establish them as one of the more distinctive crossover acts in dance music.
The duo formed in 2014, with Sophie bringing a background in Brazilian music and Portuguese, while Tucker came into DJing after a basketball career-ending illness. Their chemistry as close friends has been a core part of the project from the beginning.
