About To Drop!

As one of last year’s most exciting independent artists to emerge, Sof has begun forging a unique path in the pop music realm. After her emotional cover of Britney Spears’, “Criminal” went viral on YouTube, Sof began drawing the attention of listeners across the globe, receiving millions of views and hundreds of thousands of shares on TikTok. Her debut single, “Inertia,” released in November of 2019, garnered praise from critics and fans with NJ.com calling the track “infectious” and pinning her as one of “31 New Jersey Bands You Need to Hear in 2020.” With a “knack for addictive songwriting,” rich vocals, and an enigmatic aura surrounding her, Sof is an undeniable talent.

In 2020, in lieu of COVID-19 and limited resources, Sof began learning how to record and produce on her own. In collaboration with her boyfriend and Philadelphia-based producer, Tyler Toomey, she recorded, arranged, co-wrote, and co-produced her follow-up single, ‘Bloom,’ in her childhood bedroom during quarantine.

With the upcoming release of her next single “Movement”, a pop disco ear-worm produced by Russell Hayden, and her debut EP on the horizon, Sof is gradually shedding her layers and inviting us to watch her bloom.

This is a special episode of the show. Marcus Spence is a music industry veteran and entrepreneur. Over the years he has had many roles, including the label head at Mosely Music, head of A&R at Cinq Music, managing artists and actors, and has now branched out into the NFT space as well as some other non-music ventures.  I learned a lot just from listening to his anecdotes and insights. If you're an indie artist, this one is a must-watch (or listen).

Born in Wilmington NC, but grew up in a small town called Mt. Clare in WV. Got into music when I met my S/O- have always been active in music but no one ever supported and helped with my dream until then. As a kid was in all-state band and choir and a couple years ago was working at Bandland as a repair tech while working on music on my lunch breaks. I now live in LA working as a bartender and make synth pop music with my S/O who is a musician and videographer.

Amber Kamminga is not scared to tell an honest story. Even though she is a country singer at heart, she doesn't shy away from modern Pop influences. Her single 'Name Of Love' made her a winner in the International songwriting competition and got her touring the UK & Nashville in 2019. The heartfelt, tearjerking follow-up single '3AM' was released on January 6.
