Sophia Urista Is a Show Off! The Synth-Pop Artist On New York Open Mics, Work-Life Balance, and Raising Little Show Offs

In this episode of Showing Off with Angie Pontani and Brian Newman, we sit down with the experimental synth-pop artist Sophia Urista!

Sophia tells Angie and Brian that she was born as the “show off” she is now. Once a college student with plans to go to medical school, she decided instead to pursue the musical career of her dreams. She discusses the people that helped her along the way and what led to her competing on ‘The Voice,’ contributing to ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ soundtrack, and her latest creative pursuits.

The trio also has a candid discussion about raising their children while working in show business. How much do your kids know about the art you’re making? What does it take to balance it all? And how do we raise them to hone their own creativity?
