Sophie Melanie Muller (born 31 January 1962) is an English music video director, noted for her long-time collaborations with such artists as Beyoncé, Coldplay, No Doubt, Gwen Stefani, Sade, Shakira, Sugababes, Shakespears Sister, Garbage, The Killers, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Annie Lennox, Leona Lewis, Eurythmics, Pink, Sarah McLachlan and Blur.
Sophie Muller was born in St Pancras, London, United Kingdom, but spent her early years growing up on the Isle of Man. After leaving secondary education, she returned to London to attend Central St Martin's, gaining a Foundation Diploma in Art.
Following her graduation, Muller went to the Royal College of Art to study for her Masters in Film and Television, where she made "Interlude" and "In Excelsis Deo (In Adoration of God)." The latter won the J Walter Thompson Prize for creativity.
Her trademark style in most of her videos usually has a singer or a band inside a dim, isolated room.
Muller's first taste of professional film came working as a third assistant on the 1984 horror/thriller Company of Wolves. She then went on to work for International Film and Video, honoring her for her editing, producing, and directing skills.
