Let the Discovery Begin

Growing up in Portland Oregon, Sophia often experienced vivid audio-lucid-dreams. Swimming through crystalline oceans of fully-orchestrated sound in a world between waking and dreams was such an enthralling sensory experience she continued to chase it in the daytime, teaching herself electronic music production while completing her Master of Music at San Francisco Conservatory.

 Over several EP releases, Sophia Prise has developed an ethereal yet darkly spirited electronic pop sound, favoring inventive, mood-driven soundscapes, eclectic beat-making, and passionate lyricism. Classically trained and a vocal chameleon, Sophia has toured as a lead singer for international acts and continues to feature and collaborate with a diverse set of music artists both behind the mic and at the producer desk.

Blending the synthscapes of ‘80s film scores with contemporary indie pop, San Francisco-based duo OVRGRWN has developed a remarkable creative formula that is richly atmospheric, sweetly melodic, and frequently willing to tap into its dark side. Balancing a seriousness in the music with genuine enthusiasm, the group’s songs captivate listeners with immersive production techniques and a serene singing style.       

OVRGRWN consists of Brandon and Danae, two California natives who met in 2012 when Brandon answered a “drummer wanted” ad on Craigslist to be part of a garage/surf rock project Danae was organizing. The two formed a creative synergy over six years of playing together in the band before branching out into new musical territory with OVRGRWN.
