In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Sofiloud to hear her inspiring journey from a small-town artist in Norway to a globally recognized songwriter and performer with over 200 million streams and collaborations with artists like Alan Walker, Tate McRae, and R3HAB. We talk about how she found her artistic identity, balanced life as both a songwriter and an artist, and built resilience moving between different cities and scenes. Our conversation dives deep into the realities of the music industry, the pressures of social media, mental health struggles, and how the loss of her father became a powerful driving force behind her dreams. It was truly special to end the episode by channeling all of these experiences into a brand-new song we created together.
The song we made "Indigo" comes out Friday May 2nd, pre-save here: https://lnk.dmsmusic.co/matomasofiloud_indigo
