Sorcha Chisholm (ソーシャ・チズム）is an Australian singer, songwriter, recording artist and voice actor currently based in Tokyo. Raised in Adelaide, educated at the University of QLD in Media Studies and Sociology and then moving to Melbourne in her 20s, she began to compose, record and perform her original songs. 

Between 1998-2003 she volunteered at community radio stations 4ZZZ in Brisbane and 3PBS in Melbourne. She delivered the morning hourly news, produced community announcements and hosted the  radio shows "A Stab in the Dark", "Megaherz" (4ZZZ) and "Witches and Wormwood" (3PBS) that included playing obscure records, interviewing guests, discussing feminism, witchcraft and all things weird and wonderful.

In 2004 Sorcha moved to Tokyo and and has since worked as voice actor, wedding singer, children's entertainer, music teacher, event host and MC, piano lounge singer and cabaret performer.

Sorcha has lent her voice to many commercials, video games and narrations. Voice samples can be heard on the VOICE page. She is most well known for voicing the character “Master Raven” in Tekken 7 (Bandai Namco).

In 2013 she and musician/songwriter Samm Bennett began hosting the monthly slam poetry event  “Drunk Poets See God” - a communal place where one and all can come and share their poems, stories, songs and impressions of life. In 2020, she decided to hand over the reins to Samm and writer/poet, Joy Waller, and the event continues to be held once and month.

Sorcha has recorded multiple musical recordings of her original songs. She is currently working on her second full length album entitled “Silver Lining”. It is her first time to self produce. Her recordings to date can be viewed and heard on the MUSIC page. Her commercial releases can be heard on all streaming platforms. Her indie work can be heard on BANDCAMP.
