“I’ve always been able to be very truthful with myself when I write, and it’s been this safe, nurturing space for me.” Nicole Sophia
Santa Barbara native Nicole Sophia has been writing songs since she was nine years old. It was during the pandemic however, after hours of writing songs in a shed, that she discovered it was really her true calling and the passion she wanted to pursue for her career. Now, she just signed with Voracious Records and has her first album, Reveal Your Heart, releasing on January 12th.
In this episode, Nicole talks about her career, her life-long battle with severe OCD, and her journey to define her sexuality. She openly dives into the raw emotion and vulnerability behind her song lyrics and talks about navigating love and learning how to show up as her authentic self. She also discusses methods she uses to help manage her OCD and offers advice to others. For anyone looking to travel to Santa Barbara, you also won’t want to miss her insider tips for all the must dos!
