Melbourne’s newest flow queen Sophiya took over the underground hip hop scene late last year with her rebellious single, ‘White Ivory.’ With rhythmic flow and catchy lyricism, Sophiya caught the attention of Spotify and radio listeners, where they drew comparisons to Leikeli47 and others.
To add even more colour to her already energetic release, Sophiya has decided to team up with a league of local filmmakers and supporters – Brayden at Fun Films, close friends July Stewart, model Sophia Ast and Sophiya’s girlfriend. Together, they produced a video that effectively amplifies Sophiya’s confident and energetic personality while adding an extra layer to the already explosive, ‘White Ivory’.

“Before I released White Ivory, I promised myself that if I ever got more than 10,000 streams on Spotify I would have to make a music video for it. One month and 30,000 streams later, I met up with Brayden (Fun Films) and we began to bounce ideas for the video.”
“A non-negotiable for this music video was my friend July Stewart and his talented voguing dance moves. If you don’t know what voguing is, google it! The moves are super sassy and truly embody White Ivory’s bad bitch energy. It was also very important for me to represent a LGBTQ friendly vibe through the visuals of this song and July really made all of that possible.”
Sophiya has already amassed over 85,000 streams in just a couple of months with ‘White Ivory’, so expect to hear a whole lot more of her in the coming months. Stay tuned!
