Sophomooreik is firmly establishing himself as a shrewd and perceptive storyteller, using his own experiences, and those of the people around him, to construct a semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical yet always authentic narrative that develops over each track. 25-year-old Moore grew up with an appetite for discovering and exploring new music and would spend hours rummaging in HMV. This was where he discovered Eminem and became drawn to rap. At just 10 years old Moore was challenging himself and his peers to write verses on beats, they would head home after school and return the next day to perform what they had created. It was at this very young age when Moore became aware of the depth of music, how in addition to the melodic aspect of the music there were rhyme schemes. He spent his time studying and analysing the ways in which words were put together and this became his main focus, inspiring him to take music more seriously. “It was the linguistics of it all that caught me; the rhyming was technical and I never wanted to just say things for the sake of the rhyme, it was deeper than that”. The NW Londoner set his sights on music, and as he began forming connections with producers, his sound developed and is now ready for his next release.
