Sophie Powers new anthem 'Obsessed' has got the whole internet obsessed. To celebrate the single's release, we asked Sophie to take a trip down memory lane to answer our My Life In 20 questions.
Twilight! Team Edward all the way.
Marketing and fashion. If I weren’t in music, I would be working in marketing or fashion.
I signed my first record deal when I was 18. And I’m so grateful to the impact that had on my confidence as well as teamwork/communication skills. It’s taught me a lot and made me a better person! So thankful for the people at Atlantic and TAG Music.
Robert Pattinson. I saw Twilight once and I think he’s been my celebrity crush ever since.
I had a hot pink and black themed birthday party back home with my friends in Toronto. It’s safe to say that I was listening to a lot of Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Thing at the time.

I used to hate pears. And the funny thing is, I had never tried them at that point. I just hated the look, shape and texture of them. However, I tried them for the first time at 18 and absolutely love them now. You really should never judge a book by its cover.
Vampire Diaries and Death Note were my favourite shows at 14. I think it’s a teenage girls right of passage to be obsessed with vampires and death at some point. Not sure I ever left that stage though, because Damon Salvatore is still my dream guy and Misa Amane is my dream girl.
I’m definitely superstitious about ladders. But what a lot of people don’t know about me is that I used to be a competitive athlete. I played soccer for Toronto and ski-raced with OCUP. Before every race/game, I would tighten my right shoe first in all even numbers, then my left: 4 buckles on my ski boots and 2 knots on my soccer cleats. Not sure if that’s anything OCD related but if I did not religiously follow that routine I swear I wouldn’t perform as well.
Honestly, it would be Cara Delevingne in 2014. She was such a Tumblr icon and literally participated in Suicide Squad and Paper Towns, which were some of my favourite movies. I would be so curious as to what her day-to-day schedule looked like at that time.
My best friends when I was 11 were twins named Kate and Megan. I remember we were inseparable from grade 4 until grade 6 but things took a turn for the worse. It felt like I had lost two sisters. I haven’t spoken to them since but I hope they’re doing well.
Eating popcorn every night. My family secret recipe is just too good. It’s gonna be a hard habit to break.
My biggest fear when I was nine was butterflies. I was traumatised at the butterfly zoo in grade 3 after they all landed on me. I became very claustrophobic and let’s just say what happened after that got me kicked out of the zoo. I still am terrified of butterflies today…
A singer. I’m serious, I wrote and recorded my first song when I was eight. I still have the record.
Gluttony. It affects my weight a lot and it fluctuates often. But I also have ARFID and a very fast metabolism, so that reduces its impact. I just really love food.
Kurt Cobain, Grimes, Vera Wang, Elon Musk, Lady Gaga, and Virgil Abloh.
Music, anime, my phone (sadly), hot chocolate and my family.
Bold, creative, sometimes annoying.
'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga, '0 To 100' by Drake, and 'Something in the Way' by Nirvana.
Travel to Japan and South Korea. Sell out the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Art is my one true love. Of course, the Powerpuffs and my family qualify too.
