Interview with Sophia Scott

We had the pleasure of interviewing Sophia Scott over Zoom video! Known for her soulful storytelling and powerhouse vocals, EMPIRE's SOPHIA SCOTT is blazing a permanent trail for herself in Nashville and beyond with her newest single "One Of These Days," available now. Painting a poignant visual from her parents' struggling marriage, Sophia illustrates how she defined her own perspectives on love, offering a candid glimpse into her own personal story and emphasizing the mantra: 'everything's meant to be.' Penned with Tiggs (Nathan Fertig) of Ross Golan's Unknown Music, "One Of These Days" is where vulnerability meets hope… "I wanna live like I'm dying, I want to laugh till I'm crying but my heart still breaks, I hope it falls into place, maybe one of these days," Scott sings. "This is the most personal and arguably most important song I've put out so far. It tells the story of my parents' divorce, then my own first love and heartbreak, and finally dives into me trying to figure out my career, bills, and life as an adult. Hoping that there is resolve at some point and that all the hard things that have happened along the way start to make sense 'one of these days,'" says Scott. "'One of these days' becomes a mantra for my whole life essentially. After all, life is about the journey and the lessons learned along that journey." Bringing poise, gusto and grit to her own unique genre, Sophia's musicality is dynamic and exciting. Her boundary-defying creative range flows seamlessly through the country, pop, rock, and R&B sounds that she grew up on. She writes from the heart and shoots from the hip, unafraid to explore the depths of her emotionally-charged experiences. Instead of retreating, she confronts heartbreak head-on and turns trauma into triumph with her lyrics. Following a childhood immersed in music, she spent six years in Los Angeles, playing locally renowned showcases (We Found New Music, Breaking Sound) and headlining her own residencies, before planting her roots in Nashville. A viral YouTube cover of Tove Lo's "Habits (Stay High)" helped set the stage for Scott's buzzworthy originals, such as the "Closure" and "Quit, which cracked 1 million Spotify streams and earned high praise from Atwood Magazine, who raved, "Having grown up on classic rock, R&B, and country/soul. Scott takes care in crafting both the sound and meaning of her songs – never shirking one for another." Her latest singles "Sweetheart" and "Side Effects" offer an exciting preview of her much anticipated project, expected in 2022. We want to hear from you!
