Sophie Allison has always written candidly about her life, making Soccer Mommy one of indie rock’s most interesting & beloved artists of the last decade. On 'Evergreen', Allison is again writing about her life, but life’s different these days: Since 2022's 'Sometimes, Forever' Allison experienced a profound & personal loss. New songs emerged, unflinching reflections on what she was feeling. She wanted them to sound that way too, as true to the demos as possible. Nothing overindulgent, everything real.
演艺经历
Born in Zürich, Switzerland, in 1997 to Michelle (an elementary school teacher) and John Allison (a neuroscientist), Sophie Allison grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, where her parents had moved the family when she was a toddler.
She attended Nashville School of the Arts, a specialty high school where she studied guitar and participated in the school's swing band. Having been playing guitar since the age of 6, Allison began creating her own music.
She began posting home-recorded songs to Bandcamp as Soccer Mommy in 2015, during the summer when she was about to leave for college.
She then attended New York University (NYU), where she studied music business and English at the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. While in college, Allison played her first show as Soccer Mommy at the community art space Silent Barn in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and shortly after landed a recording contract with Fat Possum.
She dropped out of college after two years in 2017 to return to Nashville and pursue her music career.
