The Perspective Lens

In this episode of The Perspective Lens, we explore the long-awaited Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, founded by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson. Opening to the public on September 22, 2026, the museum celebrates the power of storytelling through comics, illustration, paintings, photography, film, and cinematic history.

In this episode of The Perspective Lens, we sit down with singer-songwriter Sofia Young to talk about her musical journey, her latest EP Follow the Signs, and the experiences that have shaped her as an artist.

Sofia takes us behind the music, sharing the inspiration behind Follow the Signs, her musical background, her time with her band The Curls, her evolution as a songwriter, and what it means to find and follow your own path as an artist.

We dive into her creative process, musical influences, life as a developing artist, and what’s next for Sofia as she continues to grow her sound and story.
