Sofi Maeda Has An International Hit Single

Sofi Maeda has a brand new hit single entitled “Ashita.” This cut has entered the All Gengre/International Chart this week at Number 13.

This cut is definitely one to watch.

She is hard at work preparing for the release of her new album. It is scheduled to be available to world within the next two months.

This talented singer started her music training at the age of 13. While taking guitar lessons, she composed five songs.

This is an incredible accomplishment for someone at such a young age.

We recently caught up with Sofi Maeda. She was nice enough to answer a few questions for Hits You Love Radio.

What is your music background?
I got interested in music when I turned 13.
I was taking guitar lessons, so I composed my first 4-5 songs with my guitar teacher. Those songs are not something that I’m proud of – I was a kid and at that moment I had no experience in songwriting and my singing, composing and writing skills were very low. By that time, I also started taking vocal lessons with the vocal coach. At the beginning, she taught me the basics of the musical theory; we were working on my vocal skills from scratch. Unfortunately, later she moved to another country, but she still supports me and always reminds me to believe in myself, even being far away. She was the one who inspired me to become a singer.

I kept working on my singing skills by myself and later I started a band. After around a half a year I found a new vocal coach who has been teaching me until this very day. Apart from helping me during the studio sessions and live performances, she also taught me some stage skills.

Who are your musical influences?
Marianas Trench, As It Is, State Champs, Blink-182, Angels & Airwaves, The Story so far, Handguns, FigureItOut, Seaway, Mayday Parade, Neck Deep, Grayscale, Stand Atlantic, American Football, Less that Jake, Radwimps, Mrs. Green Apple, Scandal.

What are your long-term career goals?
In about a month and a half we are releasing a new album we’ve been working on for 2 years. Hence the goal is to have as many people as possible add it to their playlists on Spotify as well as starting the production of our merchandize. Other than that, having one of my tracks featuring in some anime, dramas or movies would definitely be great. And of course, one of the biggest goals is to share the stage with one of my favorite bands.

What type of recording process do you use and who produced your music?
Some of the singles were recorded in a home studio with microphones standing on the window pane and foam rubber covering the windows. All the tracks for the album were recorded in a professional studio with the help of a talented sound engineer. Vladimir and Roman Nachevniy arranged most of the tracks as well as recorded all the instruments.

Do you ever get the chance to perform live?
We perform on stage approximately once a month. We’ve taken part in a few festivals, one of which was Hinode Power Japan. Internationally recognized Emergenza festival was among those we performed at.
