Sophia is Making an Album
Donation protected
About me and where I'm at in this journey as an artist and the album you will be helping to bring to life:
Most people know I’m an independent artist, but I’m not sure they truly grasp just how independent I am. Asking for help has never been my strong suit—I manage myself, arrange my performances, coordinate my own tour logistics, write and co-produce every song, design my websites, edit my own content, create my own flyers when needed, and even set up every business meeting. And while I’m incredibly proud of all that I’ve achieved on my own, I’ve reached a point where I need more support than I can provide for myself.
Over the past year, I’ve been writing new songs that have led me into explore new sounds and I feel that I am really at a new level within my artistry. After my recent tour, I found the courage to weave these tracks into my most ambitious project yet—an album!!! I am absolutely in love with these songs - they are bigger and better than ever. To bring these songs to life, I have to ask for help. As an independent artist, I truly believe the real power lies with my community and fans.
How exactly will this money be spent? And what will you get if you help out?
Below is an overview of how the money will be allocated.
- Studio Time & Engineer fees - $3,500.00

No donation is too small, those who donate over $100.00 will receive a link to listen to the songs early - which will include demos, revisions along the way, and final versions before public release.
What are my plans after the album is released?
The album is slated for release in mid 2025. After its launch, the focus will be on promotion through targeted content and marketing efforts. But the real excitement will come with performing the music live. I’ll be taking a break from performing until then, so I’m eager to start planning new shows so I can SINGGGG these songs!!! Eventually, I’d love to release a live album version of this project. And, of course, I’ll keep pushing my artist career forward by creating even more music.
Thank you for being here and getting this far. In good faith in taking risks — sincerely, Soph
