In her exciting debut single, 20-year-old American singer-songwriter Sophia Marie introduces herself in an intense and heartfelt way with “Venice Beach to D.C.” This song is a powerful anthem about her journey from the sunny beaches of California to the critical world of Washington, D.C. It’s set to be released on January 10, 2022, and captures the genuine feelings of someone ready to embark on a new and exciting chapter in life.
Written entirely by Sophia, the song tells the story of her big move from the laid-back lifestyle of Venice Beach to the fast-paced environment of Washington D.C., where she is now studying International Politics at Georgetown University. Her lyrics beautifully blend feelings of memories for her old life and excitement for her new adventures, highlighting the emotional challenges of leaving behind what you know for something greater. “Venice Beach to D.C.” doesn’t just narrate her experiences, it makes you feel them. The music combines bright, catchy melodies with her strong voice, mirroring the contrasts in her life as she navigates this significant change. The song has a relaxed West Coast vibe but is grounded by the grit of the East Coast, reflecting her unique journey as a rising artist.
Sophia describes the track as an empowering anthem about a girl from the West Coast moving to the East Coast, someone who feels like an outsider with a lot to prove. The empowering message of the song lingers with you, not through flashy production, but through Sophia’s genuine and relatable strength, which resonates long after you finish listening.
