ABOUT
21-year-old independent solo artist Sophia Scott has swiftly become a force to be reckoned with in the indie-pop-rock scene. The Brisbane-born songstress emerges with a distinctly personal sound that overflows in playful introspection and youth set ablaze.
Scott’s indie-pop-rock fused music hails from the sounds of artists who filled the halls of her childhood home. From storytelling savants like Jonie Mitchell to the prowess of legends like Queen, Scott’s sound is an ode to the artists who raised her – coloured with the rarity that is her own vision.
Her intimate storytelling spans the complexity of coming-of-age but defies convention by always gravitating back to her personal world. In the span of three years, Scott has played several sold-out support slots across for the likes of Royel Otis, Sun Room, Boo Seeka and Pacific Avenue, to name a few.
By Spring 2023, she had sold out her debut headline show in fewer than 24 hours. Aglow with her red guitar and accompanied by her three-person band, Scott continues to prove herself as born for the stage.
Since her debut, Scott has amassed over 17 million views on TikTok, connecting with audiences through hypnotic lyricism, robust production and a relatable melancholy. With all songs self-written, her music is a kaleidoscope of vivid memories and honest reflection – scored to addictive melodies resemblant of folk, pop, rock and country threads.
Most recently, Scott’s rock-centric pop soundscape ‘Fled The Altar’ was crowned best original song at Qube Effect Awards 2023. Scott’s eagerly anticipated EP is slated for late 2024, bringing us more fingerpicked strings and rock-charged anthems. The release of her most recent single, Tandem Dive, (featuring Elliot Cox) heroes her gift to bridge sounds of the past and the present with poetic grace.
As her journey unfolds, Scott looks forward to seizing more stages across state borders while finishing up her SEQ tour in April 2024, continuing to carve her unique niche in the vast landscape of indie music.
