Interview by Kat Zee KZ: Hello, Sophia! How are you today? Thank you so very much for your time with this interviewer for ION Indie Magazine. It’s an honor for us! SR: Thank you so much! It’s a great opportunity for me to be interviewed by you! I’m very honored and humbled too! KZ: For those who are not familiar with you and your career, maybe you could tell us something more about it… SR: I am a 15 year old singer, songwriter, musician, actress, from Ottawa ON, Canada. I started songwriting at the age of 13 and haven’t stopped writing since! I’ve been in the UK recording my debut album “Intoxicated”, due to be released this summer 2014. KZ: How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard it before? SR: My music is very sensual. I love passionate and soulful vocals and instruments. My lyrics and music on my debut album “Intoxicated” can be best descried as a fusion of many genres. And my musical influences are Classic Rock, Jazz, Blues, R&B, Soul and Instrumental--just to name a few KZ: Now let’s talk about your album “Intoxicated”—which will be released real soon. This album features GLEN DROVER, former lead guitarist for MEGADETH. How was that, working with him? SR: I love working with him! Glen Drover is an incredibly talented and humble person. He continues to inspire and motivate me to be the best musician I can be. It’s always an absolute pleasure doing session work with Glen. I love the passionate way he feels my music. I am honored!
