Soname Yangchen (born 1973 in Tibet) is a British singer and a songwriter of Tibetan descent.

Soname Yangchen was born in the Yarlung Valley at the time of the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, into a noble family which was poorly regarded by the Chinese government.

At the age of 16, she left Lhasa and crossed the Himalayas by foot to reach India.

Her singing talents were "discovered" during a spontaneous performance at a friend's wedding, and she started singing professionally in England, becoming known worldwide, touring Europe, appearing at festivals in Australia and other places.

[1] In September 2004 she performed Tibetan folk and spiritual songs at a world music concert at LSO St Luke's, London.
