BIO

Amid the southern charm of a small town just north of Columbia, South Carolina, a star was born; Sofia Lynch was born with a God-given gift and a destiny. With the sounds of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and The Cranberries echoing the walls during her childhood, the budding songwriter announced to her family that she would be a pop star (she was five years old at the time).

​

Flash forward 15 years: Sofia Lynch had moved to Nashville and graduated early from Middle Tennessee State with a bachelor’s in music. By this time, she had released one EP, three singles, and her debut album, Lately, (whose title tracked amassed millions of views on Tiktok), inked a sync license deal with Cream Collective, and worked with two Grammy award-winning producers (Thomas Scott Hoffman and Femke Weidema-Reynolds).

​

Despite all her success, the young songwriter remains focused. “There’s still so much more to do, and better music to make,” she remarks with a dry smile. Her musical inspiration blossoms from the world around her—from intimate interactions with strangers to the ever-inspiring and endlessly complex tapestry of college drama. “I want my songs to feel a bit like a gossip session, the way I talk to my friends back home. I think my fans relate to themes of confusion, love, self-doubt, and soul-searching in my music—it’s capturing the quintessential early twenties experience.”

​

Admiring the tenacity of Taylor Swift, the innovation of Billie Eilish, and the lyrical depth of Lorde and other “sad girls” Phoebe Bridgers and Maisie Peters, Sofia aspires to bend the rules of genre. Her musical tastes, as varied as her talents, range from the defiant anthems of Chappell Roan’s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” to the reflective depths of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." The songs that she pens beam with unique emotional expression and narrate chapters of her life that unfold in harmony.
