Offstage: Sophia Pae

We’re back with a new Offstage and this time we’re taking a closer look at singer-songwriter Sophia Pae (aka Sophiya) who’s been involved in the creation of some of your favorite tracks. Let’s put some spotlight on her.

Sophia has a solo career as well as an impressive list of credits as lyricist, vocalist and composer.

You might also recognize her from her participation in ‘Star Audition : The Great Birth 2’ where she won silver.

Her solo debut came in the shape of the ballad ‘I will love you’ which was released in 2015.

She still releases solo music, her most recent one being the single album ‘AUTHENTIC’ from 2022. I wanted to put this feature’s focus on her writing and composing credits.

One of Sophia’s earliest works is ‘Memories’ by Kim Bokyung and ‘Melt My Heart’ by Eric Nam.

Here’s a list of some of her lyrical work!

Here’s some of her composing work.

Sophia’s impact is not to be ignored, because she literally helped shape the sound of K-pop as we know it today.
