The striking young talent also happens to be an actress represented by the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
With over 330K subscribers on YouTube, Sophie is far from your typical child star in the making.
Take her song choices for example. Impressively, Sophie’s song picks are that of the big band era. She loves singing songs from the big band era. In fact, she can flawlessly belt out the classics from Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
Truly defying stereotypes, the young artist also has an album of her own entitled “Love Is…”
But when she’s not busy with recordings, television show guestings, and acting, Sophie simply enjoys staying at home with her mother, Victoria Fatu and bonding over music together.
Thanks to YouTube, the gifted mother-daughter duo can share their at-home performances with the rest of the world.
One of the videos they shared was their cover of the song “Shallow” which immediately garnered over 3.7 million views and 197K likes.
Taken when Sophie was only six, the video is nothing short of impressive.
Fame and expectations aside, you can tell Sophie and her mother Vicky are just like most mother-daughter pairs. You can tell they have quite a special bond just by the way they look at each other and how well they harmonize together. The eagerness to sing together was evident, too.
There are a couple of things you’ll instantly notice when Sophie starts singing: the uniqueness of her singing voice, and how passionate she truly is about singing.
For a child to sing with such confidence and brave facing a worldwide audience at a young age, it takes quite a strong support system and a positive environment that lets her thrive.
Clearly, Vicky has all those things down pat.
And when the gorgeous, loving mom sings, you just know there isn’t any question of where Sophie gets her talent from.
In between singing, Sophie and her mom can’t help but share smiles and sweet hugs with each other. How comforting it must be for Sophie and Vicky to have such a special, warm, and loving relationship.
When the duo finally reach the defining part of the song, Sophie nails it and Vicky follows suit.
If you’re wondering what makes their cover stand out, it’s because they don’t just learn a song by heart and consequently perform it for their online audience. Sophie and Vicky listen intently, take the song’s message, wrap it up in their passion and talent, and share it for the rest of the world to appreciate.
What a sweet way to conclude a performance, too!
Sophie and Vicky couldn’t stop grinning after the song. They even exchanged high fives. Adorable as it is, what you’ll also love is the respect and admiration they hold for each other. Moreover, you’ll appreciate the humility Sophie and Vicky show despite all the praise and recognition they receive.
As the mother-daughter duo thank their viewers for being supportive, Sophie declares,
“I hope you love this video and I hope I made you a little bit happy!”
