Tell us a bit about Sophia Brown the singer / songwriter.
Sophia Brown
Sophia Brown the singer is pretty laid back, however sultry, ragamuffin with a sense of purpose. As the writer I am skeptic about what the general public hear from me, so I like to write quality music that is radio friendly, however when I am performing based on the environment I can be a little raunchy with my free style lyrics. (Laughs)

That single was inspired by a conversation with a friend about his personal experience at the time and what he was going through. So that was the concept behind the lyrics from his experience.
