With a new single released and a new creative chapter unfolding, Sophia sat down to reflect on her journey...past, present, and future.
How has being Canadian shaped your path as an artist?
In Vancouver, the scene is pretty small and there are very few female producers. I didn’t really understand how the music industry worked when I first started out. At times it felt isolating. But now, I feel really proud to be from here. Canadian artists are so creative and hardworking, and I think that kind of underdog energy makes you push even harder to be seen internationally.
Were you always artistic and drawn to music?
I used to walk around and sing and make up songs. That’s what my mom always said. I took some music lessons and started writing songs, and honestly, once I started, I found it pretty hard to stop.
Were you doing covers back then or writing your own songs?
I was in a couple of cover bands in high school, and I did some folk covers with my older brother. But I’ve always been pretty bad at learning other people’s songs... I have a terrible memory. I’m much better at remembering my own lyrics, so I just started writing my own songs early on.
