Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT.

love listening to sofia! she is so open and vulnerable and dives deep into everything she talks about. such a great listen, love this podcast!! 🤍🤍
A podcast that has swiftly become one of my favorite listens. Sophia has such a genuine and thoughtful voice, and she always gets the best interviews out of her guests. My favorite thing about the show is that I can tell that the guests are also learning about themselves as they’re talking to Sophia.
Congrats Sofia! Keep the hard work!
Fantastic podcast that delves into teh artist's process in crafting an album and a body of work. Sofia's hosting style is lovely and allows the guest to discuss and open up about what they're writing and singing about. A must for music fans.
The way Sofia flows her podcasts is so terrific and a joy to listen to. She brings in her own experiences and ties them in with the artist she is interviewing. It’s awesome to see that everyone can have a connection with an artist who is stripped down, just a person. Thank you for the podcast with Julien and Gordi!
