SOFIA LYNCH

. . . is on a mission to put her most vulnerable feelings into words, and share it with anyone who will listen. 

At age 21, armed with her intimate lyrics and penchant for pop excellence, she has worked with two Grammy award-winning producers (Thomas Scott Hoffman and Femke Weidema-Reynolds), recorded at the internationally renowned Blackbird Studios, and inked a sync licensing deal with UK-based publishing group, Cream Collective. 

Lynch, born to two manufacturing engineers, began her career in music at just five years old when she sang the National Anthem at a regional teacher’s conference. After performing in community theater for several years, she learned how to play guitar when she was nine years old, writing over fifty songs before she turned ten. At 12, Sofia played her first paid show at a bar in her hometown, which got her started performing at many other local venues.

She released her first EP, In My Mind, at 14 years old, and dropped her first album, Lately, in 2020. It quickly amassed over 50,000 streams on digital platforms, with one of her songs amassing millions of plays on the popular social app, Tiktok. 

Lynch credits her unique melancholy pop sound as being influenced by other “sad girls,” gushing about her favorite songwriters like Phoebe Bridgers, Maisie Peters, and Taylor Swift:

 “There are so many wonderful female artists today that are pushing boundaries. I think it’s important to listen to great music in order to create great music.”

After graduating from MTSU, Sofia will continue to play shows, co-write, record music, and make videos for her tiktok fans. During her free time, Sofia enjoys spending quality time with her parents and two sisters, watching live performances, reading, and digging into some Chinese take-out.
