Welcome to SlamCast, where your hosts Neil and Brea chat with creatives about their process and how they navigate the grind of promoting themselves. In this episode of SlamCast, we sit down with the incredibly talented Sophia Eris, a multifaceted artist and DJ who has navigated a remarkable journey in the music industry. Sophia shares her story of moving to Minneapolis in 2008 to study music business at IPR, with no initial plans to become an artist herself. That changed in 2011 when she met Lizzo at a music festival, sparking a creative collaboration that led to their careers skyrocketing as they seized every opportunity that came their way. Sophia reflects on how Lizzo invited her to DJ on her first tour, a skill she learned on the go, and how this experience set the stage for her current success, including just returning from a year-long arena tour with Lizzo.
We also explore Sophia's experience as an on-air radio host while balancing her touring life, her thoughts on the benefits of collaboration with a creative partner, and the importance of sync licensing deals for musicians. She shares how her connection to the Minneapolis community keeps her grounded and offers advice to aspiring artists about staying true to their intentions and finding a manager to help propel their careers while they focus on the art. From stealing aux cords to selling out arena shows, Sophia Eris's story is both inspiring and empowering.
