Sophia Yau-Weeks is an artist and singer-songwriter born and raised in Oakland, CA. Her latest release, a debut 3-song EP entitled "Without You," was produced with and engineered by Maryam Qudus (Toro y Moi, SASAMI, Alanis Morissette, Spacemoth) at Tiny Telephone Recording Studio in Oakland. The project explores, in celebration and rumination, relationships with the people and world around her.
White Crate described the project, “The singer-songwriter flutters through the trio of pieces laid out like movements in a concerto (fast song, slow song, fast song), and it makes for a cohesive, complete set. It’s all down to earth, not just because of the ladybugs and butterflies, but because Yau-Weeks meditates on everyday emotions surrounding relationships, love, and friendship through folky, homey jams.”
Ultimately, the driving force behind Yau-Weeks’ work is the desire to reach and relate to others through her art, to build community and genuine connection. She works to tell stories through song whether that be through poetic lyricism or captivating melodies. She is currently in the process of writing her debut record. Stay tuned!
