The world is full of reasons to be upset these days, but the creative spirit shines through adversity. It reaches out and lifts us all. It finds its way into the streets and lifts up our community. That is certainly the case with Sophie Miller, a young singer in Charlotte who sat in her front yard and entertained her neighbors with a rendition of ‘Brave’ by Sara Bareilles.

Sophie chose this song, “First, because I have been a fan of hers for as long as I can remember. And second, because this is such a strong and meaningful song that encourages us to speak up in support of ourselves and one another.”

If you love her performance, Sophie asks that you make a donation to Tosco Music.

Sophie’s Advice for Other Queen City Creatives:

“KEEP CREATING! Use your online platforms and share with Charlotteans, through your screens and cameras. Then, when performances are allowed again, wait and watch your audiences grow!”
