Sophia Eliana describes herself online as a “Denver-based queer folk musician, florist, and dancer originally from Monterey, CA.” With that sort of a rich history, one might imagine that she has some stories to tell, and one would be right. Songs such as “Praying Mantis” and “Curious Critter” are overflowing with heartfelt introspection. That, blended with her talent for recognizing effective melody plus her frankly gorgeous voice make for a wonderful listening experience. “I treat each waking moment as ‘studio time,’ drawing inspiration for my artwork from the intricacies held within subjectively mundane moments,” she says. It shows!
