Our inaugural episode of the Darkus Live Lounge series sees us welcome North East singer songwriter Sophia to our HQ at MotorHouse Studios, Sunderland. Sophia will be in session performing three tracks from her debut "Hometown" EP as well as in conversation with host and Darkus founder Thushara Chandrasiri. Thushara gets to the bottom of Sophia's earliest inklings of musical ambition, the inspirations behind her work and her penchant for a Christmas film or too around the holiday season. Sit back and relax, this is the Darkus Live Lounge. CreditsStarring : SophiaHost : Thushara ChandrasiriVideography : Austin TweddlePhotography: Kate MilneAudio : MotorHouse Studios
