What’s your name?

Sophia Rae Barnes

Where are you from?

Born in Colorado, lived in Louisville Kentucky for 9 years, then been back in Colorado since I was 9

How old are you?

4 .When did you start making music

When I was six or seven I saved up and bought myself my first drum set and have been making music ever since. My big brother Michael taught me in my basement in Kentucky and I was always inspired by the movie Drumline because I hate reading music but love making it.

How serious are you about your career?

I would say I’m pretty serious about continuing to create music and art throughout the rest of my life, and I have a lot of career goals and aspirations that I try to hold myself to.

Have you ever thought about quitting music?

No I love music too much

Who inspires you the most?

My favorite artist is probably BANKS, I really like her lyrics and production sound, but I also like darker stuff like Corbin, especially for the tone of my voice.

8.What got you into making music?

I’ve always been very creative and loved to write lyrics, sing, and perform with my friends since I was super little, so getting back into it as an adult has certainly been healing for my inner child.

9.Who is your favorite producer?

I really love BJ Burton because I also love BANKS, but I love how versatile his work is, and how he’s able to work in multiple genres.

What is one of your best songs/beats?

I really like the single I released this June that’s also the title of my EP Learning to Cry On My Own

Are you signed to a record or label?

Have you ever performed?

Not professionally, but yes

Who would you most likely collaborate with?

My dream collaboration would be Willow or BANKS based on lyrics and how I think our voices would sound together. Other than that I’m really open to collaboration as long as I’m able to express my ideas freely.

If you could open for any artist who would it be?

In my dreams I would open for The Weeknd

What’s next for you?

Finishing graduate school, brainstorming for my next music release, creating other forms of art. I like to keep an open mind, but I know I’ll never want to stop creating.
