“The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is when fans express how much your songs mean to them. I started writing songs for myself, and even today, a lot of my writing is me processing something I’m going through. So it is so rewarding to know that a song I wrote can help people through a hard time, or be relatable, or make someone feel all the feelings I’ve poured into that song.” - Sophia Bavishi

“Being an artist, I am often asked what my backup plan is, in case I can’t make it in music. To be honest, this question always irritates me because it makes me feel as if people are already giving up on me and expecting me to fail….The reality is that no matter what industry you’re in, you need to make your own path, which is what I’m doing every single day. ” - Sophia Bavishi

“As I sat behind the keyboard, singing the song I wrote, I just knew. This was it. Writing music, expressing myself, and sharing that music made me feel vulnerable and exhilarated. And I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.” - Sophia Bavishi
