Growing up just outside of Toronto, Canada, Anna Sofia would perform at her parents’ restaurant and recitals at school, dreaming of moving abroad to be like the artist’s she admired, from Sir Elton John to Tyler the Creator. Now at 18, Anna Sofia has accrued millions of streams and a legion of dedicated fans for one reason: she’s honest. The singer-songwriter and multiinstrumentalist’s music represents an artist living in the moment, reflecting on life and navigating the drama of becoming an adult–with sophisticated, experimental and theatrical tunes free from pretense and bullshit, singing directly from the heart of the Gen Z experience. “I don’t have a message. It’s just real life,” she admits. “My goal is to be a source of comfort, safety and empowerment for my audience. I hope my music can be a tool people can use to help them find strength when they need it, and just feel comfortable in their own skin. I love performing so much because I kinda forget about reality for a bit and it’s just me and the fans, and we party our heads off!!! That connection is everything to me. I’m so happy that live shows are coming back... I just wanna spread love and support everywhere”
Anna Sofia writes with the wisdom of hindsight, and a cynical nature despite currently living in the draining drama of life as a teenager. With her refreshing candidness, she is a voice for Gen Z, and speaks of the harsh reality of her experiences: “For the young kids who haven’t reached high school yet but are watching all the cute high school movies and think it’s the dream, it’s really not. There’s a lot of drama and it’s a place where you have to devote your life to working because that can make or break your future”.
Anna Sofia’s wit, sardonicism and immaculate songwriting is present on her latest, “No Negotiations” which racked up 100s of thousands of TikTok views on just a demo of and has just arrived. Anna Sofia co-composed, co-produced and co-recorded the track in Montreal with her creator friends–Zach Zoya, Miko, Soran, and Yuki. It’s edgy and effortlessly cool, just like the songstress. Anna is a self-proclaimed “classy bitch” and “natural born killa” who always gets her way, as we learn through the track's lyrics! “No Negotiations” is a straight-to-the-point “hype song”. Anna Sofia shares, “It’s the one song I’ve made that reminds me to be good to myself because I deserve it! Sometimes we forget how amazing we really are and can be our own worst enemies. This is just a song to remind you that you are the baddest mf out there SO ACT LIKE IT!!!!”
