Discovered on Pampa Records with a debut album widely supported by DJ KOZE and the media (Pitchfork, The Guardian, etc.), the American expatriate in Berlin is a fascinating character. Blending white soul pop à la Shangri-Las with a kind of psychedelic rap, she modernizes 60s classics by jolting them with machine sounds. Between Cassavetes-esque naturalism and the excesses of Carrie, SOPHIA is a performer who evokes ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, KAREN DALTON, and 60s girl bands.
