Sophie simmons where is she

The legendary musician Gene Simmons and a former Playboy Playmate and actress Shannon Lee Tweed began dating in and the two had a live-in relationship for 28 years until they got married on October 1, The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Nick on January 22, , and their daughter Sophie on July 7, However, being naturally and genetically talented at both music and modeling, Sophie inevitably stepped into her career as a model, musician, and actor.

As some of you might know, Sophie Simmons launched a body-positive clothing line for The Style Club in and became a model who advocates for body positivity in order to support eliminating discrimination and body shaming which overpowers the fashion industry for decades. In addition to her budding music career, Sophie works as a model and is signed with One. Models have to take it upon themselves to seek that out. Just because someone tells you to lose weight doesn't mean you have to.

Look for other agencies and see where they will take you as you are," she said. A passionate advocate for body positivity, she now hopes to use her platform to inspire more body inclusivity. Though modeling and music are two different worlds, the emerging star says they can have similar pitfalls.

Chief among them is the impulse to hide your own imperfections—in music with filters like "autotune and reverb and echoes," and in modeling with Photoshop or conforming to others' beauty standards. She noted that her journey to modeling required that same process of self acceptance. Sophie says she ultimately stopped second guessing herself after her mom threatened to ground her for not pursuing her dreams.

I'll never understand it. Everything is easier when you have a budget for your music video, and you can put PR behind it, and you can perform on the late night shows When you're an indie artist, you're really just paying for it out of your own pocket, and that's what we've been doing. That's kind of what I still base the music off of.

I just feel like every song has to have some sort of personal connection, or at least you have to enjoy singing it. There's a lot of times when I hear songs and they're so monotone in their emotion, and I wish that artists wouldn't correct the singing in post so much, so that there's a bit more personality.

We should be hiring the best model for the job, and looking at them as a whole person—what they do when they're not modeling, what their personality is like and whether they're good people. That's not really what I'm looking at. I would much rather buy something off Denise Bidot or Hunter McGrady than I would a straight-sized model who we've never heard her opinions on anything.

I just don't identify with that. It's comfortable. We all feel it, and for some reason, we all don't say it. I would definitely if a brand reached out, and they said, 'Would you work with us to be the face of the brand? Here's why. Because it will break you down first before it builds you up.

I'd be signed to a publisher. I would have No. I don't. I'm a completely independent artist and songwriter. I write for people based on recommendations of artists who liked working with me, who then refer me to their friends. It's a grind, but it's something I really enjoy. And unfortunately, the era of those big rock stars is just not helpful. Now with streaming, they have no experience with it. My dad has zero idea how Spotify works. He doesn't understand how people make money now.

Even at the beginning, like in the golden age of music, it was still difficult to make money as a songwriter, but now even more so, and it's much more about quantity than quality now to make a living as a songwriter. But I can't avoid that. It's what I want to do with my life. So if that means, you know, I'm not living the most lavish of lives, I'm cool with that, because I get to do what I love every day.

Did you ever feel any pressure, whether external or internal, to sort of do something more metal or more hard rock, given the fact that — at least hypothetically — there would be a ready-made audience for that? If I had done something rock, or if my brother had gone into rock or something, I'm sure there would be some crossover.

But still the age difference is 40 or 50 years from an original KISS fan to now, and music and streaming and even radio has changed so much. So, a lot of the music that I make is never going to reach the ears of those people. It's too pop, it's too dance.

They don't get it, the music that I write. Which is fine. Like, what — do they want you to spit blood or something? I don't really know what the expectation is, but I just know that no matter what you do, you can't make everyone happy.

So you just have to make yourself happy. I mentioned that obviously you started in reality television at age 11 with Family Jewels , and then went on to want to do music. So what made you go on another reality show, The X Factor , in ? The story behind it is I was trying to get meetings with publishers and labels, and no one would meet with me.

I couldn't get a meeting with a label. I couldn't get a manager. The only people telling me they liked my songs were my parents. This doesn't really count. I need an unbiased audience of music professionals who are just going to tell me, super-cutthroat, if it's good or bad. And if one of them says, it's good, then I'm just going to go for it. I've written for a lot of dance artists, like you said, so Yellow Claw and Sam Feldt and then some pop artists like Ella Henderson.

I just started writing for everyone.
