Every Little Moment is a heartfelt reflection on how, when you’re a child, the smallest things can mean the most.
Moments that once felt ordinary, believing in the tooth fairy, playing on the playground, hearing your parents call you inside, carried a kind of magic that only childhood holds.
When we’re young, everything feels bigger, brighter, and more important, even the simplest days. This song captures that innocence and wonder, showing how small memories can shape who we become. As we grow older, we begin to realise those little experiences were treasures we didn’t know we were collecting at the time. Through warm, nostalgic storytelling, Every Little Moment celebrates the beauty of growing up and reminds us to appreciate the simple joys, because one day they become the memories we hold closest to our hearts.
Sixteen-year-old Sophie Toyne is an emerging New Zealand artist whose voice carries a rare mix of softness, strength, and emotional depth. Despite her young age, Sophie has already developed a compelling stage presence, earning multiple awards on both sides of the Tasman and captivating audiences with her heartfelt performances.
Her journey first caught the attention of legendary New Zealand producer Dick Le Forte when she was just 12 years old. Hearing Sophie sing in a Newstalk ZB Christmas song contest while driving, he was immediately struck by the purity and power of her voice. Le Forte, known for producing gold records for artists such as Brendan Dugan and Jodi Vaughan, and the 1979 debut album ‘This Heart This Song’ by Sharon O’Neill, recognized something special in the young singer. Sophie’s earlier release introduced listeners to her ability to bring depth and emotion to timeless material, including the previously unrecorded Sharon O’Neill song Service of Mine.
Now, with the release of Every Little Moment Sophie reaches an exciting milestone: her first original song. The track marks the beginning of a new chapter, revealing Sophie not only as a captivating vocalist but also as a songwriter with a natural gift for capturing emotion and the beauty found in life’s small moments.
With new music on the horizon and her debut album ‘Orange Skies’, Sophie Toyne is an artist at the start of a promising journey, one defined by authenticity, heartfelt storytelling, and a voice that resonates far beyond her years.
